Solution

The correct option is B 2 and 4
When the environment becomes enriched with nutrients, it can be a problem in marine habitats such as lakes as it can cause algal blooms. The algal blooms can severely lower oxygen levels in natural waters. And this leads to the mortality of fish due to oxygen.
