The correct statement is C. The pollutants will disrupt oxygen absorption in fish.

Explanation:

Motor oil and other fuels when dispose off in the water bodies, it causes suffocation in the marine animals and causes death. Motor oil or other fuel such as petrol, diesel etc are non polar solvent and water is a polar solvent so they are not dissolve with each other and the oil make a layer on the water surface and blocks oxygen.

during the paleozoic and mesozoic eras plate movements were rapid. this caused many volcanoes to occur. how could this impact th
kompoz [17]

Explanation:

Many violent volcanoes spew a lot of pyroclasts and gases such as carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide high into the atmosphere. The fine pyroclast would linger in the atmosphere for months and even years  blocking out the sun. This would cause vegetation to die out and decrease. Photosynthetic organisms re usual producers and the entry point of energy from the sun into ecosystems. Their death would mean the collapse of ecosystems.

Settling pyroclast would also blanket vegetation in thick layers hence also denying them access to sunlight. There would be a definite drastic decline in population and communities and ecosystems, and even extinction akin to the extinction even to the dinosaurs during the meteorite strike.
