Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
BOD stands for Biochemical Oxygen Demand
The amount of oxygen required by bacteria to break down the organic matter present in a certain volume of a sample of water is called Biochemical Oxygen Demand.
BOD value of water
- A BOD number of less than 5 ppm indicates that the water is clean.
- A BOD value of 17 ppm or above indicates that the water is highly polluted.
