Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Eutrophication is caused by excess nutrients, particularly nitrogen and phosphorus, entering waterways from agriculture runoff. These nutrients promote excessive plant growth, which in turn leads to oxygen depletion in the water and harms aquatic life.

(Note: A - DDT is a pesticide that can accumulate in the food chain and harm organisms, but it does not directly cause eutrophication. C - Plastic waste can harm wildlife through ingestion and entanglement, but it does not directly cause eutrophication. D - Range extension of species can have various ecological impacts, but it does not directly cause eutrophication.)
