Description : Eutrophication of a water body enhances – (1) Organic matter production (2) Biological oxygen demand (3) Both (1) and (2) (4) Neither (1) nor (2)
Last Answer : (3) Both (1) and (2) Explanation: Eutrophication is the ecosystem response to the addition of artificial or natural substances, such as nitrates and phosphates, through fertilizers or sew-age. It leads not only to increased levels of nutrients, but increased Biological Oxygen Demand as well.
