Question

Water pollution ______ aquatic life.

• A. benefits
• B. harms
• C. does not affect
• D. nourishes

Answer 1

The correct option is B harms

Water pollution is the contamination of water bodies (e.g. lakes, rivers, oceans, and groundwater). Water pollution shows harmful effects in water bodies.
For example: When plastic bags end up in our oceans, aquatic animals (like seals, dolphins and seabirds) can get tangled up in them.
An animal with a plastic bag around its neck will have trouble moving through the water, catching its prey or feeding.
Throwing plastic bottles can also cause water pollution and harm aquatic life.
