According to NOAA, dead zones are hypoxic areas in the world's oceans and large lakes, caused by excessive nutrient pollution from human activities coupled with other factors that deplete the oxygen required to support most marine life in bottom and near-bottom water. The Gulf of Mexico contains an area of temporary hypoxic bottom water that occurs most summers off the coast of Louisiana in the Gulf of Mexico, making it the largest recurring hypoxic zone in the United States. The Mississippi River, which is the drainage area for 41% of the continental United States, dumps high-nutrient runoff such as nitrogen and phosphorus into the Gulf of Mexico. According to a 2009 fact sheet created by NOAA, "seventy percent of nutrient loads that cause hypoxia are a result of this vast drainage basin." What is the cause of this Tragedy of the Commons?
A)Everyone along the Mississippi River utilizes the energy resources they need or want, without regard for the needs of others.
B)Everyone along the Mississippi River shares the waterway without considering how each small contribution of nutrient and chemical pollution adds up to have dramatic results.
C)Everyone along the Mississippi River pollutes the Mississippi with trash and plastics, causing the pollutants to build up as they flow toward the gulf, causing dramatic results.
D)There are a lot of people along the Mississippi River, each using automobiles, planes, trains, and boats for transportation. The use of these modes of transportation take away from the gas
