The intake pipes of nuclear plants and water plants along Great lakes are clogged by a certain variety of mussels that proved to be causing nuisance to the working systems. But it is found that the bags of these calms when suspended in the effluent streams of chemical plants, not only improves quality of water significantly but also remove some hazardous wastes from effluents just by feeding voraciously on the algae that they filter from water that passes by it. Which one of the inferences given below, if true, is most strongly supported on the basis of information given in the above paragraph?

Reading Comprehension

1. AIf these mussels spread to areas of the river and displace native calms that support cultured pearl industry for decades, that industry will collapse.
2. BIf the mussels failed to consume the quantity of algae available to them, then the intake pipes of the nuclear plants and water plants will get clogged by it.
3. CIf the wastes from the effluents are not transformed into non-hazardous chemicals by these mussels themselves will become hazardous pollutants.Correct
4. DThese mussels are brought in this area through freighters and are thriving here since their population is not controlled naturally in the ecosystem.
