Eutrophication

This process consists of the enrichment of nutrients, especially nitrogen and phosphorus, in an aquatic ecosystem. This polluting phenomenon when the water of an aquatic ecosystem receives a discharge of waste that favors the excessive growth of organic matter and causes a rapid growth of algae and other green plants that cover the surface of the water.

Therefore, the correct option for this statement is the second one:

an abundance, overgrowth.
