Given below are two statements:
In light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below
1. Both Statement I and Statement II are correct
2. Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect
3. Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect
4. Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct
| Statement I: | Sewage discharge in a flowing river causes an increase in biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) due to the biodegradation of organic matter by microbes. This leads to the mortality of fish and other aquatic creatures |
| Statement II: | Sewage discharge in a flowing river causes a sharp decline in dissolved oxygen (DO) downstream from point of discharge due to increased consumption of DO by microbes. This leads to the mortality of fish and other aquatic creatures |
1. Both Statement I and Statement II are correct
2. Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect
3. Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect
4. Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct
