- Biomagnification (Option A) is the increasing concentration of toxic substances in organisms at higher trophic levels, which is an environmental hazard.
- Accelerated eutrophication (Option B) is the nutrient enrichment of water bodies leading to oxygen depletion, causing ecological damage.
- Release of Nuclear wastes (Option C) is a significant source of radioactive pollution and environmental degradation.
