c. decreased oxygen in the water.

Algae blooms can lead to a rapid increase in the population of algae in the water, which can consume large amounts of oxygen as they decompose. This can lead to a decrease in oxygen levels in the water, which can harm or even kill other marine organisms that rely on oxygen to survive. Additionally, some types of algae can release toxins that can harm other marine life.
