Correct Answer
D
Explanation
An effect of thermal pollution on water bodies is that the level of oxygen reduces. Thermal pollution occurs when there is a significant increase in the temperature of water bodies, often due to human activities such as industrial discharge or power plant cooling. Elevated water temperatures can decrease the solubility of oxygen in water, leading to a reduction in the level of dissolved oxygen available for aquatic organisms. This reduction in oxygen can have detrimental effects on aquatic ecosystems, causing stress to fish and other aquatic life, leading to fish kills and disruptions in the balance of the ecosystem.
