Answer 2

(b) is the correct option.

Effluents are waste products in a liquid form. A major form of industrial waste and pollution effluents can affect the environment in many ways:

1. Harmful for marine life - Effluent is all the liquid waste that washes into a water body from nearby industries. It harms all aquatic animals and plants as it contains harmful chemicals.
2. Increase the temperature of water bodies - When effluents from industries or water treatment plants wash into water bodies they usually have a higher temperature which all together raises the temperature of the water body.
3. Decrease in oxygen levels - A large amount of biodegradable waste in a water body requires a lot of oxygen to break it down. Once all the oxygen is used in breaking down these materials, less amount of it is left for marine life leading to their extinction.
