Answer: level of oxygen reduces

Explanation: Thermal pollution warms the water. Warm water holds less dissolved oxygen, so the oxygen level drops, which can stress or kill aquatic organisms. The other options are not direct effects: the water volume doesn’t simply shrink (A), chemical waste volume doesn’t automatically increase (B), and oxides of nitrogen are mainly air pollutants rather than a typical result in water (C).
