I want to say it will be first-person. Third-person is an outside voice, someone that is not a character in the plot. It seems as if the narrator is talking about himself, which is why I deduce it to being a first-person point of view.
I think this is A. Because it can add subtle hints of the setting and describes the characters.
Organic matter and nutrients causes an increase in aerobic algae and depletes oxygen from the water column. This causes the suffocation of fish and other aquatic organisms. Sulfate particles from acid rain can cause harm the health of marine life in the rivers and lakes it contaminates, and can result in mortality.
It would simply be "They respect each other".
Respect in time tenses is either spelled, "Respected", "Respect", or "Will Respect."
The fact that it's third person does not change the word since it can be said as "I respect you", "You respect yourself" "They respect each other"
