Relationship between DO and BOD is that they

  • are directly proportional

  • are inversely proportional

  • are not related

  • always remain equal to each other


B.

are inversely proportional

BOD or Biological Oxygen Demand is a measure of the amount of oxygen needed by microbes to breakdown the organic matter in a sample of water. DO or Dissolved Oxygen is the amount of oxygen dissolved in the water.

BOD and DO are inversely proportional to each other. When BOD is high, it means there's a lot of organic contaminants in the water and the microbes are working overtime to break it down. They use up oxygen while doing this. So, when BOD is high, Do is low.
