Verified by Toppr

The correct option is B Eutrophication of water bodies
The streams draining the fertilisers into the lake introduce nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus, which encourage the growth of algae. As the lake's fertility increases, algal bloom occurs which is known as eutrophication. Algal bloom causes the deterioration of water quality and death of aquatic plants and animals like fishes.
Thus, the correct answer is option B.
