The correct answer is option A, Nitrogen causes producers to grow.

Nitrogen is an essential nutrient required for the growth of plant. Soil is the major source of nitrogen for plants and trees. During heavy rainfall the soil enriched in nitrogen flows into the nearby water bodies and causes its nutrition enrichment due to which the dense phytoplanktons grow in the water bodies. Such dense growth of plants in standing water such as pond or lake disturbs the water qualities such as dissolved oxygen, its temperature and pH, produce foul smelling water etc. Poor quality water is unable to support aquatic life and thus the species living in it die out
