Correct Answer - A
Degree of impurity of water due to organic matter is measured in terms of BOD (`O_(2)` in milligram required for five days in one litre of `H_(2)O` at `20^(@)C` for micro-organisms to metabolise organic wastes).
In polluted water reoxygenation decreases than deoxygenation. So, in this water BOD (Biological Oxygen Demand) increases.
