Question

Which of the following is true for eutrophicated water body?

• A. High mineral content
• B. High oxygen content
• C. Rich species diversity
• D. Low organic content

Answer 1

The correct option is A High mineral content

Eutrophication is the process of ageing of the lake in which a water body acquires a high concentration of nutrients, especially phosphates, and nitrates i.e., high mineral content from the nearby the field. It causes algal bloom which in turn depletes the dissolved oxygen from the lake.

Thus, the correct answer is option (A).
