Solution
The correct option is A Eutrophication
The excessive richness of nutrients (phosphorus, nitrates, and detergents) in a lake or other water body leads to acceleration in the growth of algae known as eutrophication. Excess algal growth deoxygenates water leading to the death of aquatic life.
