Explanation:

Analyze the first question on water quality

The first question asks for a result of efforts by the U.S. and Canadian governments to improve water quality (such as the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement). Improving water quality directly supports aquatic ecosystems, leading to the recovery of native aquatic species. Therefore, the resurgence of some fish populations is the correct outcome.

Analyze the second question on Canadian arts

The second question asks about a primary influence on the arts in Canada. Historically and culturally, Canadian art has been deeply shaped by its indigenous (native) peoples as well as the traditions brought by European settlers (primarily French and British). Thus, native and European cultures is the correct choice.
