141) In most lakes, there exists a temperature gradient. The warmest

water is near the surface and the coldest is at the bottom. However,
certain situations can cause a lake to "turn over" placing the coldest
layers on top. Such an event is extremely dangerous to the nearby
inhabitants because it can cause suffocation. Which of the following
best explains why a lake turning over can cause the suffocation of
nearby inhabitants?

top, it suddenly warms, dissolving massive amounts of oxygen. Without oxygen,
people can die of suffocation.
B)A stochastic event like that requires no explanation.

the lake, this layer rapidly warms by the sun's heat, releasing massive amounts of
carbon dioxide into the atmosphere which can suffocate those nearby.
