Answer

Brief Explanations:

The text states that commercial fertilizers enrich soil for healthier crops (positive impact) and that when carried to the oceans by erosion, they cause algae to reproduce rapidly, decreasing oxygen and harming ocean - dwelling organisms. Fertilizers don't cause erosion, don't provide more food for fish in a positive way, and don't cause death of crops.

Answer:

It improves the growth of crops. It harms organisms that live in the oceans.
