Ok, I'm sick and tired of incorrect verified answers and Yes the verified answer here is incorrect. The correct answer is "B." and here is why:

hypoxia: a condition of oxygen depletion in water

Now know this, oxygen depletion mainly occurs when dirt and soil that have been sprayed with agriculture fertilizers are introduced or enter a body of water.

Fertilizers are actually amazing on land and they improve the soil quality immensely, but in the water they promote the growth of phytoplankton. This in itself isn't so bad, but once the fertilizers wear off the plankton die and decay, which then in turn uses more oxygen.

The correction option is A.
Hypoxic zone refers to low oxygen areas in the oceans and large lakes. Hypoxic zone is always caused by large amount of excessive nutrients pollution that arise from human activities such as dumping of factory wastes and fertilizers in water bodies. These excessive nutrients usually reduce the concentration of oxygen in these water bodies.<span />

Bumek [7]

Answer:

Adaptive immune responses are triggered by activation of antigen-specific T cells that produce antibodies against foreign antigens such as, for example, harmful viruses. These immune responses are useful to eliminate dangerous molecules from the body. In a normal immune reaction, the antibodies produced by T-cells target antigen molecules in order to be subsequently absorbed by phagocytic macrophage cells.

Autoimmune diseases are triggered by the response of the adaptive immune system against self-antigen molecules. Since the immune system can not eliminate antigens from the own body, this immune reaction generates an excessive inflammatory response, and it may lead to the damage of tissues and organs.
