Question

in some lakes, excessive blooms of algae can occur when water quality is degraded, resulting in conditions more favorable for a activity is more likely to cause this degredation in water quality?
a. mining
b. farming
c. transportation
d. manufacturing

Explanation:

Algae blooms are often caused by excess nutrients (like nitrogen and phosphorus) in water. Farming (agriculture) uses fertilizers, and runoff from farms can carry these nutrients into lakes, degrading water quality and promoting algae growth. Mining, transportation, and manufacturing have different primary pollution types (e.g., heavy metals, emissions) less directly linked to nutrient - driven algae blooms.

Answer:

B. farming
