Which is the following helps to control cultural eutrophication?
A)adding nitrates to balance the excess phosphate
B)adding aquatic weeds to the water body to absorb excess oxygen
C)increasing fertilizer use
D)pumping remaining oxygen out of the reservoir
E)limiting or banning phosphates in detergents

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Phosphates in detergents are a major contributor to cultural eutrophication. By limiting or banning their use, the excess nutrients, particularly phosphates, can be reduced, thus controlling cultural eutrophication. The other options either add more nutrients (A, C) or remove oxygen from the water (B, D), which would exacerbate the problem rather than control it.
