Which of the following is a negative externality when the government provides a public good such as building a dam?
a. decreased leisure activities
c. a potential decrease in the species of fish
b. an increase in hydroelectric power
d. the potential for increased flooding

Dams block the migration of fish, deplete oxygen from rivers, and interfere with the biological triggers that guide fish. They also reduce self-cleaning ability of rivers. Due to the construction of dams and other factors, the population of freshwater fish species declined 37% between 1970-2008 - more than the populations of all other ecosystems. Populations of tropical freshwater fish species declined by as much as 70%.
