Best answer
Right answer is (a) Harmful algal blooms

The best explanation: Algal blooms produce toxins which leads to formation of dead zones in water, Bio-magnification is the process by which toxic substances get deposited in the food chain, bio-degradation is the process that leads to degradation of compounds with the help of bacteria, Bio remediation is a process that uses microbial processes and converts toxic substances into less toxic or usable forms.
