Answer:
Correct Answer: 17. (a)
Solution:
- Dissolved oxygen (DO) is the oxygen dissolved in water either from atmosphere or by photosynthesis. The lower the concentration of DO in a water sample, the more polluted is the water sample.
The concentration range of dissolved oxygen (DO) in cold water reaches upto $10 ppm$, but that in normal water (at room temperature) is within $5 ppm$.
