Best answer

Answer: 1. Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is true.

Key idea: Eutrophication is caused by nutrient enrichment.

Statement I is false: nutrient-rich (not nutrient-deficient) water bodies undergo eutrophication, with algal blooms. Statement II is true: decay of the algae uses up dissolved oxygen, so the oxygen level falls. Option 1.
