A. Low quantities of carbon cause organisms to die from lack of organic material.
B. Low quantities of oxygen caused by algal blooms cause organisms to die.
C. High quantities of carbon cause organisms to die from lack of organic material.
D. High quantities of oxygen caused by algal blooms cause organisms to die.

Answer 1
