  2. B \(\gt 5 \mathrm{ppm}, \geq 17 \mathrm{ppm}\)
  3. C \(\lt 5 \mathrm{ppm}, \geq 17 \mathrm{ppm}\)
  4. D \(\lt 5 \mathrm{ppm}, \leq 17 \mathrm{ppm}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\lt 5 \mathrm{ppm}, \geq 17 \mathrm{ppm}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

BOD (Biological oxygen demand) is less than 5ppm in clean water, where as highly polluted water have a BOD value of 17 ppm and more. \(< 5 \mathrm{ppm} \geq 17 \mathrm{ppm}\)
