Answer 1

Answer: (B), (C), (D)

The correct options are
B Reduction in population of aquatic animals.
C River pollution
D Development of industries

The environment in Ganga - Brahmaputra region is affected by human intervention. Industrial development and population explosion poses threats to the natural environment.
Discharge of industrial wastes into water affects the population of aquatic animals. The population of Susu - a river dolphin - once abundant in the Ganga and Brahmaputra rivers has declined due to polluted waters.
