B Nutrients are depleted in the river, causing plants to die. These decompose, so the water is deoxygenated.
C Nutrients enter the river, causing algae to grow. These die and decompose, so the water is deoxygenated.
D Nutrients enter the river, causing plants to grow. These provide extra food for animals, which deoxygenate the water.
