Solution

The correct option is C Algal bloom
Nutrients like nitrates and phosphates in excessive amounts cause eutrophication. Phytoplankton thrive on this excess nutrients and their population explosion covers almost entire surface layer of water bodies. This condition is known as algal bloom. So, algal blooms are the consequence of eutrophication.
