The correct pair is A. defilement and F. contamination.
- The sentence contrasts "the most isolated body of water" with the fact that debris is present on its waters and shores, so it is not exempt from pollution.
- Defilement and contamination are both strong synonyms of pollution or fouling, fitting the context of debris in the ocean.
