Solution

The correct option is B Freshwater lakes
Eutrophication is the process in which a fresh water body becomes overly enriched with nutrients, leading to plentiful growth of simple plant life like algae. Decaying mats of dead algae can produce foul tastes and odors in the water; their decay by bacteria consumes dissolved oxygen from the water, sometimes causing fish kills.
