Solution
The correct option is B Eutrophication
The process of change in ecological community of an area over time which in turn results in the formation of climax community is termed as succession. Eutrophication means increased pollutant due to algal blooms as supported by the presence of excess organic compounds in water. Denitrification is the first step in returning nitrogen back to the atmospheric reservoir by reducing the nitrates into nitrite thereby removing nitrogen from the soil. Carbon fixation refers to the reaction of photosynthesis that fixes carbon of carbon dioxide into organic compounds. Acid rain runoff does not cause excessive growth of algae. Therefore, the correct answer is option B.
