Answer:

Eutrophication

Step-by-step explanation:

Eutrophication is a type of pollution caused when excess nutrients, primarily nitrogen and phosphorus, enter the water. The overload of nutrients cause algae to grow uncontrollably, depleting the water of oxygen as they die. Low oxygen levels in the water is known as hypoxia.
