Answer: Option (C)

Explanation:

Temperature and dissolved oxygen is inversely proportional to each other i.e if temperature is high then dissolved oxygen will be low and if temperature is low then dissolved oxygen will be high.

Thus, we can conclude that when the water vapor content increases in the atmosphere, the lake temperature eventually will rise whereas the dissolved oxygen will get subsequently reduced.

Hence the correct option is (C)
