Nonpoint source pollution is more harmful than point source pollution primarily because it is difficult to regulate due to its multiple dispersed sources. Additionally, it involves greater complexity in management and leads to extensive water contamination from various origins. Therefore, the best choice is B: Nonpoint source pollution is difficult to regulate.
