The storm gutters of a large city empty into an ocean bay. A mechanic shop, unable to afford proper disposal, begins dumping its used car fluids, like motor oil, into the gutters instead. How will this impact the marine life of the bay?

The pollutants will not impact marine life in the bay.

The pollutants will dissolve in the freshwater of the bay.

The pollutants will disrupt oxygen absorption in fish.

The pollutants will kill all marine mammals in the bay.
