Question 3 • SS 25-26 Environmental Science A

Which of the following is not a consequence of oil spills for marine life?

Answer
A
disables fur insulation
B
removes nutrients from seawater
C
spreads out over a large area
D
makes feathers less water-repellent

Explanation

Oil can coat marine mammals’ fur and birds’ feathers, reducing their insulation and water resistance. It can also spread over a large area. An oil spill does not remove nutrients from seawater, so “removes nutrients from seawater” is not a consequence of oil spills for marine life.
