The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the pollutants from human activities that accelerate the aging process, we can break it down into the following steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks about the aging process that is accelerated by pollutants from human activities, specifically effluents from industries and homes. 2. **Identifying Key Terms**: The key terms in the question are "pollutants," "effluents," "accelerate," and "aging process." 3. **Analyzing the Options**: We need to evaluate the options provided (though they are not listed here, we will assume common terms related to pollution and environmental science): - **Biomagnification**: This refers to the increasing concentration of toxic substances in the food chain. It is not directly related to the aging process of water bodies. - **BOD (Biological Oxygen Demand)**: This measures the amount of oxygen required by microorganisms to decompose organic matter in water. It does not refer to the aging process. - **Accelerated Eutrophication**: This is a process where water bodies become enriched with nutrients (like nitrogen and phosphorus), leading to excessive growth of algae (algal blooms) and depletion of oxygen, which can cause the death of aquatic life. This is directly related to the aging of aquatic ecosystems. - **COD (Chemical Oxygen Demand)**: This measures the amount of oxygen required to chemically oxidize organic and inorganic matter in water. Like BOD, it does not refer to the aging process. 4. **Selecting the Correct Option**: Based on the analysis, the correct answer is **Accelerated Eutrophication**, as it describes the aging process of water bodies due to nutrient pollution. 5. **Conclusion**: The pollutants from human activities, particularly effluents, contribute to accelerated eutrophication, which is the aging process of aquatic ecosystems. ### Final Answer: The correct answer is **Accelerated Eutrophication**. ---

Which of the following statements regarding eutrophication are correct ? (i) Eutrophication is the natural ageing of a lake by nutrient enrichment of its water. (ii) Pollutants from human activities like effluents from the industries and homes can radically accelerate the aging process of a lake. This phenomenon is called as cultural or accelerated eutrophication. (iii) The plant nutrients responsible for eutrophication are nitrates and phosphates. (iv) These phosphates and nitrates accelerate the growth of algae, which utilise oxygen and may deoxygenate the water to kill the fish and other aquatic animals.

The pollutants from man’s activities like effluents from the industries and homes can radically accelerate the aging process. This phenomenon has been called

Semen from the selected male parent artifically with the help of a process known as

Assertion : Cultural eutrophication is nutrient enrichment of water bodies due to human activities like passage of sewage, industrial effluents, etc. Reason : The prime contaminants from sewage and industrial effluents are nitrates and phosphates, which act as plant nutrients and overstimulate the growth of algae.
