Question

‘Eutrophic’ water body is a ______.

पर्याय

• highly productive water body rich in nutrients

• water body poor in nutrients

• fresh water body

• stagnant water body

Answer 1

‘Eutrophic’ water body is a highly productive water body rich in nutrients.

Explanation:

An ‘eutrophic’ water body is one that is rich in nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus, making it highly productive with abundant plant and algal growth. This often leads to the process called eutrophication, where nutrient enrichment causes excessive growth of algae, which can deplete oxygen in the water and harm aquatic life. Thus, eutrophic waters are nutrient-rich and biologically productive, unlike nutrient-poor or stagnant waters.
