Correct Option - 4
Detailed Solution:

(a) Polluted water has low value of dissolved oxygen, but high value of B.O.D., because chemical and organic matter uses dissolved oxygen to decompose.

(b) Eutrophication is result of excessive growth of weed in water bodies, which consumes dissolved oxygen, thus decreases oxygen.
