1 answer

The two sources of pollution that decrease the oxygen level of water are:

  1. Plant fertilizer - When fertilizers runoff into water bodies, they can lead to algal blooms, which consume oxygen when they decompose, resulting in decreased oxygen levels.
  2. Animal manure - Similar to plant fertilizers, animal manure can also cause nutrient pollution, leading to algal blooms and subsequent oxygen depletion in the water.

So the correct answers are plant fertilizer and animal manure.
