Q. Addition of phosphate and nitrates/fertiliser into water and that water ultimately draining into lake firstly affects

A) Growth of aquatic organisms in lake
B) Eutrophication of lake
C) The environment of lake
D) Organic remains deposited on the lake bottom
Explanation

Addition of phosphate of nitrate in water or lake firstly affect the growth of organisms. Large algae in presence of nitrate and phosphate growsery fast and occupy a large area As the overload of aquatic organisms increase, the organic remain start depauted at the bottom of lake and over centuary pile up the lake and ultimately converting into land. So eutrophication is natural ageing of lake by nutrient enrichment of its water
