Answer:Option C

Step-by-step explanation:

The human activities such as over fertilizing affects the nitrogen cycle by the running off of the fertilizer into the nearby water bodies.

The water containing more fertilizer gives rises to the algae in the water and then it decreases the amount of oxygen in the water bodies.

There is no supply of oxygen in the water bodies for the other aquatic animals.

This causes more nitrogen to move into water and hence disturbing the aquatic ecosystem and recycling more nitrogen.
