Solution

The correct option is C Increase in fish population
Addition of phosphates in water enhances algae growth. Such profuse growth of algae covers the water surface and reduces the oxygen concentration in water. It inhibits the growth of living organisms such as fish in water. This process of loss of biodiversity is known as Eutrophication.
