Answer:

Not sure but I think it's A

Step-by-step explanation:

Eutrophication leads to increased algal growth (because the level of nutrients increases). It can lead to a shift in species composition to fast growing algae species (including toxic species) and a shift from long lived macroalgae to more nuisance species.
