• A. Only Statement A is true
• B. Only Statement B is true
• C. Both Statement A and Statement B are true
• D. Both Statement A and Statement B are false

Answer 1

The correct option is A

Only Statement A is true

The addition of hot water in water bodies is considered as water contamination because it raises the temperature of the water body, thereby adversely affecting the animals and plants living in it. The solubility of oxygen decreases with increase in the temperature of water and this leads to the destruction of aquatic life.
