Solution

The correct option is C less than 6ppm
If the concentration of dissolved oxygen of water is below 6 ppm, the growth of fish gets inhibited.
Scientific studies suggest that 4-5 parts per million (ppm) of dissolved oxygen is the minimum amount that will support a large, diverse fish population.
