A forest area is cleared and replaced with a parking lot. Over several years, water quality in this area will likely be harmed most by – A. Decreased water flow in streams
B. Increased sediments in runoff water
C. Increased oil products in groundwater
D. Decreased animal waste

A.

Explanation:

The nutrients the forest trees give are taken away and an entire ecosystem is gone. Rivers and Lakes are usually big enough or fast enough to clear the water from gravel, waste, and other products. The water area's population of animals are constricted and they lose numbers to predator's and more waste. The waste most likely comes from the building that the parking lot is from. So slower water flow means the waste is caught and stays which kills the population of fish.
