Eutrophication is often seen in:

1. deserts
2. fresh water lakes
3. ocean

Correct answer: fresh water lakes

Solution

Eutrophication happens when excess nutrients, especially nitrogen and phosphorus, accumulate in water and trigger algal overgrowth. This is most commonly observed in fresh water lakes because they can receive runoff and have limited water exchange.
