Solution

The correct option is B I and II only
KH value increases with increase of temperature indicating that the solubility of gases increases with decrease of temperature. It is due to this reason that aquatic animals are more comfortable in cold water rather than in warm water because in cold water the amount of dissolved oxygen in higher.
