Algal bloom results in

  • A.Global warming
  • B.Salinization
  • C.Eutrophication
  • D.Biomagnification

Answer: C

Algal bloom results in eutrophication.

When lakes and ponds receive excess nutrients, especially nitrates and phosphates from fertilisers and sewage, algae multiply rapidly into a bloom. When the algae die, their decomposition by bacteria uses up the dissolved oxygen, so fish and other aquatic life suffocate. This nutrient-driven deterioration of a water body is called eutrophication.

Global warming is caused by greenhouse gases, salinization is the build-up of salts in soil, and biomagnification is the increase of toxic substances along a food chain.
