Answer:
The correct answer is - The decomposers decompose dead algae and plants which take up most of the oxygen.
Explanation:
Eutrophication is taken place when there is a high amount of nutrients, minerals are present in a waterbody which allow algae to grow rapidly and cause depletion of oxygen due to the decomposition of dead organisms. There are the following stages in the eutrophication process:
- rapid growth of Algae and other plants
- due to algal bloom, the sunlight is blocked, and plants and organism start dying.
- The decomposers take up most of the oxygen by decomposition
- The animals start dying without oxygen
