Answer 1

The correct option is D

1, 2 and 3
<!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> Eutrophication is the process by which a body of water becomes enriched in dissolved nutrients (as phosphates), stimulating the growth of aquatic plant life usually resulting in the depletion of dissolved oxygen.
It is associated to accelerated growth of phytoplankton (algal blooms).
This further reduces oxygen supply and can lead to death of marine organisms and eventually the lake may itself die.
