The correct option is E.
The collapse of the Atlantic Cod fishery was due to over-fishing.
The over fishing was brought about by many factors which include: technological progress {which led to construction of modern fishing fleet and ocean floor trawlers that are used for mass harvesting of cod}, ecological ignorance, uncontrolled harvesting and consumption of cods, socioeconomic factors and governmental mismanagement.
