Pick B for parallelism.

Environmental scientists have been careful to point out that the pollution of estuaries has various causes, including seepage from septic fields, overuse of waterways by boats lacking proper waste disposal facilities, the indiscriminate spraying of pesticides by farmers, and inadequate protection of the water table.

In A, indiscriminate incorrectly modifies pesticides. Option B fixes this error.

Hope that helps...

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information.
