How does an algal bloom deplete the oxygen supply?

A: The larger population of algae absorb all of the oxygen during the process of photosynthesis.

B: As the larger population of algae die, a larger population of decomposers use up oxygen while decomposing the algae.

C: The larger population of algae can no longer photosynthesize and release oxygen.

D: The larger population of algae cover the surface of the pond so oxygen does not get into the water.

B: As the larger population of algae die, a larger population of decomposers use up oxygen while decomposing the algae.
