Answer:

Biological oxygen Demand (BOD) is the least in 3)Potable water/ pure water.

Explanation:

The amount of dissolved oxygen required (i.e., requested) by aerobic biological organisms to break down organic material present in a given water sample at a particular temperature during a certain time period is known as the biochemical oxygen demand (BOD; also known as biological oxygen demand).
BOD and COD both measure the concentration of organic chemicals in water and serve a similar purpose.
The BOD test presents the most time-related barrier since a BOD sample must be held for 48 hours after collection.

Therefore, because potable water contains fewer organic compounds than dirty water, its BOD is lower.
