Answer:

C. Oil from the oil spill could enter aquatic organisms, like fish, which could make people sick.

Explanation:

Fish filter water to remove oxygen or food. With contamination of water by oil spill, the oil is absorbed by the fish organism during these natural processes. Not necessarily these animals will die from it. But the substances can lodge in the fish's body and stay there for years. As a result, they contaminate the entire food chain, causing disease to all who feed on this fish. From this we can state that oil from oil spills can enter aquatic organisms such as fish, which can make people sick because they will consume fish infected with oil.
