The correct answer is a nutrient runoff.  

Nutrient runoff is a major reason for eutrophication of surface waters, in which extra amount of nutrients, generally phosphorus or nitrogen, instigate growth of algae. Sources of nutrient pollution involve surface runoff from pastures and farm fields, emissions from combustion, and discharges from septic tanks.

Answer:

Run off of nutrients enriched water into the lake

Explanation:

When a lake receives nutrients from the nearby agricultural land then it becomes nutritionally enriched due to increase in the concentration of nitrogen and potassium.  

Both nitrogen and potassium are essential nutrients responsible for enhancing crop and plant growth.  

Therefore, when lake water becomes enriched algal boom occurs thereby covering the top surface of lake and hence making the lake water devoid of oxygen. This entire process is collectively termed as eutrophication

OleMash [197]
Organisms that live in water are not totally independent of soil as a resource. These organisms depend on aquatic plants for food and other substances. These aquatic plants in turn require minerals for their sustenance. These minerals are carried to waterbodies from soil by rivers, rainwater etc.

Diffusion is a passive process that accounts for the movement of respiratory gases across the capillary membranes of alveoli.
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Diffusion is a passive process (no energy required) in which the substance such as liquid and gases moves from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.

During respiration, carbon dioxide diffuses from the blood into the alveoli and oxygen diffuses from alveoli to blood across the respiratory membrane. The partial pressure of oxygen is low in the blood of the pulmonary capillaries and high in the alveoli. so diffusion allow movement of oxygen across the respiratory membrane from the alveoli into the blood.

Hence, the given statement is true.
