Solution

The correct option is B BOD
Figure shows changes that one may notice following discharge of sewage into a river. Micro-organisms involved in biodegradation of organic matter in the receiving water body consume a lot of oxygen, and as a result there is a sharp decline in dissolved oxygen downstream from the point of sewage discharge. This causes mortality of fish and other aquatic creatures. A - dissolved oxygen and B - BOD.
Therefore, the correct answer is option C.
