A) Fertilizers in water runoff
Eutrophication is primarily caused by nutrient pollution, particularly from fertilizers that contain nitrogen and phosphorus. When these nutrients run off into waterways, they can promote excessive growth of algae, leading to algal blooms and subsequent negative impacts on aquatic ecosystems.
