Solution
The correct option is C Algal bloom
Algal bloom
An algal bloom is the excessive growth of planktonic (free-floating) algae due to the presence of large amounts of nutrients in the water. Algal bloom imparts a distinct colour to water bodies. Thus the given figure represents algal bloom.
Biomagnification
Biomagnification is a phenomenon, in which the accumulated toxicant in the body of an organism results in increasing concentration when passed to another trophic level.
Nitrification
Nitrification is the process of conversion of ammonia into nitrite and nitrate by the action of microorganisms.
BOD
BOD stands for biochemical oxygen demand.
The amount of dissolved oxygen required by the aerobic bacterias during the process of decomposition of organic waste matter in the water is BOD.
Final answer
(A) Algal bloom
