An oil spill in a body of water can cause extensive damage to aquatic ecosystems when the oil spreads out on the surface of the water. If the oil spill is not quickly contained, some of the chemicals in the oil will evaporate from the surface of the spilled liquid, producing volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Which of the following is a valid conclusion?
A. Oil spills can be cleaned up safely by increasing production of VOCS
B. Oil spills affect only aquatic ecosystems and not land ecosystems
C. Oil spills can contribute to air pollution by producing VOCS.
D. Oil spills pose a health risk to animals but not humans
