The correct response is:
**The concentration of nutrients increases, which causes a toxic bloom of blue-green algae.**
Pumping freshwater into a pond that is already experiencing eutrophication can lead to an increase in nutrient levels, particularly phosphorus and nitrogen, which can exacerbate the problem and contribute to the proliferation of harmful algal blooms, including blue-green algae.
