Ask EduPadi AI for a detailed answer
Correct Option: A
Oil pollution in coastal waters primarily destroys aquatic life:
- Destruction of aquatic life: Oil can suffocate marine organisms, coat birds' feathers, and contaminate the food chain.
- Nitrification of water: Indirectly affected, not a major effect.
- Detoxification: Oil introduces toxicity rather than detoxifying water.
- Disinfection: Oil pollution does not disinfect water.
