Explanation:

Question 11

Oil spills contaminate water and habitats, leading to negative impacts on wildlife (e.g., coating animals, disrupting ecosystems). The other options (improved fishing, increased fish, cleaner water) are contrary to the known effects of oil spills.

A polluted ocean affects fish/shellfish quality/safety. Consumers avoid contaminated seafood, so those relying on catching from polluted oceans can't sell their catch. The other options (more fish, better taste, more money) are inconsistent with pollution's effects.

Answer:

harm to wildlife
