Answer 2

[AI-generated answer — Step-by-Step Bot]

The correct answer is option a. Brine can kill ocean wildlife. Desalination involves removing salt from seawater, and the brine that is left behind contains high concentrations of salt, chemicals, and heavy metals. When this brine is discharged back into the ocean, it can harm marine life by affecting the water quality, salinity, and oxygen levels.
