Answer: D

Explanation: In nuclear power plants, there are usually two parts of water, the first part is in the reactor, while the second part is in the reservoir located outside.

In this question, it asks about the effects that the water outside would have on the reservoir.

Nuclear power plants generate heat emission, so putting these heat into the reservoir would cause the reservoir temperature increase, thus, a decrease in oxygen level occurs.
