Answer 1

The correct option is (d) Increases water pollution

To explain I would say: SCP can be used as a protein-rich supplement of human diet and can take off the pressure from the agricultural system for increasing the protein content of food articles. It also increases the protein supply and use of organic wastes and industrial effluents helps in reducing environmental pollution.
