Oceans produce approximately 80 percent of the oxygen our planet needs to support animal life. Pollution that reaches the ocean through dumping, oil leaks, runoff, and other processes interferes with that oxygen production and poses a real threat to the oxygen content in our atmosphere. If the oxygen content decreases, it is likely that carbon dioxide will increase. This could have dramatic consequences for life as we know it.
Which is a likely result of decreased oxygen production?
A. a decrease in pollution
B. a reduction in ocean size
C. pollution
D. problems sustaining life
