Excessive use of chemical fertilisers in agricultural fields causes which serious problem in lakes through water runoff?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: सुपोषण या यूट्रोफिकेशन (Eutrophication)

Correct answer: B, eutrophication. Fertilisers commonly contain nitrogen and phosphorus compounds. Rain or irrigation water can carry dissolved nitrates and phosphates from fields into lakes. These nutrients may cause excessive growth of algae and aquatic plants, called an algal bloom. When this biomass dies, microorganisms decompose it and use dissolved oxygen. Oxygen depletion can stress or kill fish and other aquatic organisms, producing an unhealthy water body. A is wrong because nutrient runoff does not stop evaporation; evaporation depends mainly on heat, wind, humidity, and exposed water surface. C is wrong because fertiliser runoff generally adds dissolved substances and does not completely remove salinity. D is wrong because groundwater drying is primarily linked with over-extraction, reduced recharge, and drought, not the defining lake effect described here. Eutrophication may occur naturally over long periods, but human nutrient enrichment accelerates it and is called cultural eutrophication. Memory cue: excess nitrate and phosphate feed algae, then decomposition removes oxygen.
