Sediment accumulation in a lake near a farm.

Explanation: farming can increase soil erosion and runoff, which carries sediment into nearby water bodies. The other choices are incorrect (fertilizer runoff usually decreases oxygen by causing algal blooms and hypoxia; herbicides kill plants rather than increase growth).
