Solution
The correct option is C Tank B shows eutrophication and BOD
Eutrophication is when a water body is overly enriched with nutrients such as phosphorus and nitrogen which leads to algae bloom. The death and decay of these organisms makes the water body rich in organic nutrients a phenomenon called eutrophication with an increase in biological oxygen demand.
So, the correct answer is 'Tank B shows eutrophication and BOD'
