Answer:

The correct answer will be option- D

Explanation:

The deficient fertilizers like nitrogen and phosphorus are added to the soil to increase the yield of crops. But sometimes these fertilizers get washed off due to irrigation and other human practices through a phenomenon called fertilizer runoff.

The runoff damages the environment by increasing the amount of these fertilizers in water bodies like watersheds, lakes and rivers. This increases the concentration of the fertilizers in the water bodies called eutrophication. This eutrophication is lower down the concentration of the oxygen in the water.

Thus, option-D is the correct answer.

Scientists have been able to determine that the melting of ice from Greenland ice sheet will reduce the rate of Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) which is an important part of the global ocean current that determines the climate and controls Gulf stream. It as been inferred by researchers that this could affect climatic conditions in places like Europe and North America in the future.

The influx of fresh water from Greenland which is made up of runoff from ice, tundra and ice discharge will weaken the AMOC and this as both local and global effects on climate.
