The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the BOD (Biological Oxygen Demand) values of two water samples, we will analyze the given BOD values and determine the condition of each water sample. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding BOD**: - BOD (Biological Oxygen Demand) measures the amount of oxygen that microorganisms will consume while decomposing organic matter in water. It is an important indicator of water quality. 2. **BOD Value Interpretation**: - A BOD value of less than 5 ppm indicates clean water. - A BOD value greater than 17 ppm indicates highly polluted water. 3. **Analyzing the First Water Sample**: - The first water sample has a BOD value of 4 ppm. - Since 4 ppm is less than 5 ppm, we classify this water sample as **clean**. 4. **Analyzing the Second Water Sample**: - The second water sample has a BOD value of 18 ppm. - Since 18 ppm is greater than 17 ppm, we classify this water sample as **highly polluted**. 5. **Conclusion**: - The first water sample is clean (4 ppm). - The second water sample is highly polluted (18 ppm). - Therefore, the correct classification of the two water samples is: **clean and highly polluted**. ### Final Answer: The water samples with BOD values of 4 ppm and 18 ppm, respectively, are **clean and highly polluted**.
