Answer: it's D

Explanation: C is wrong for Penn students I'm taking the test now (read in section )Manure can improve the soil structure, allowing the soil to hold more nutrients and water. If manure is applied to soils that already have a high phosphorus concentration, it can move into surface waters, leading to eutrophication.
