Given below are two statements:Statement-I: The nutrient deficient water bodies lead to eutrophication.Statement-II: Eutrophication leads to decrease in the level of oxygen in the water bodies.
Both Statement-I and Statement-II are true
Both Statement-I and Statement-II are false
Statement-I is correct but Statement-II is false
Statement-I is incorrect but Statement-II is true
To solve this problem, we need to analyze the given statements about eutrophication.Statement-I: The nutrient deficient water bodies lead to eutrophication.Statement-II: Eutrophication leads to decrease in the level of oxygen in the water bodies.Let's evaluate each statement:• Statement-I: Eutrophication is actually caused by an excess of nutrients, such as nitrogen and phosphorus, in water bodies, not by nutrient deficiency. Therefore, Statement-I is incorrect.• Statement-II: Eutrophication often results in algal blooms, which can lead to a decrease in oxygen levels in the water as the algae die and decompose. This process is known as hypoxia. Therefore, Statement-II is true.Based on the analysis:• Statement-I is incorrect.• Statement-II is true.Thus, the correct option is Option 4: Statement-I is incorrect but Statement-II is true.
