Which consequence results when bioluminescent plankton experience algal bloom?

A)Increased ocean oxygen production occurs
B)Harmful toxins rapidly accumulate water
C)Predator avoidance via counterillumination decreases
D)Luciferase enzyme action permanently stops

💡 Explanation

Algal blooms create dense populations; the mechanism of quorum sensing triggers less bioluminescence because plankton benefit less from coordinated flashes when surrounded, therefore increasing predation risk, rather than toxin accumulation which relies on different species' metabolism.
