Eutrophication occurs when there is an excess of inorganic nutrients (mostly of the time generated by human activities) in the water mainly nitrogen and phosphorus, this generates an uncontrolled proliferation of algae and some aquatic plants that have severe consequences on the water bodies. Therefore we can say that the correct answer is option C.
