After phosphates and nitrates enter a water system, the steps of eutrophication include the rapid growth of algae, death of underwater plant species, depletion of oxygen in the water, and the death of fishes and invertebrates. The correct option would be B.
Eutrophication refers to the excessive enrichment of water bodies by nutrients such as phosphates and nitrates thereby facilitating the rapid growth of some aquatic species with negative effects.
Once a water body becomes excessively enriched with phosphates and nitrates, the following is a sequence of events that follows:
- Algal bloom: the nutrients facilitate the rapid growth of algae
- The bloom of algal species results in the death of underwater plants as a result of inadequate light.
- The death of the underwater plants and the accompanying microbial activities in decomposing them cause oxygen levels in the water to drop.
- Reduction in oxygen level causes fishes and other water invertebrates to die due to hypoxia
Therefore, the correct steps of eutrophication according to the illustration is IV, II, I, and III.

Answer:
The given statement is false, as some of the fruits like a banana do not contain seeds as they get propagated through the offsets. The development of banana takes place without fertilization, that is, via the procedure of parthenocarpy. All the fruits are also not sweet in taste like lemon is a fruit, which is sour in taste. Thus, all the fruits are sweet is also incorrect.
