I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option C. If water vapor continued to increase in our atmosphere, you would expect lake temperatures will increase, but dissolved oxygen in the water will decrease. Hope this answers the question.

Answer;

Lake temperatures will increase, but dissolved oxygen in the water will decrease.


Explanation;

If water vapor continued to increase in our atmosphere, Lake temperatures will increase, but dissolved oxygen in the water will decrease.

As the temperature of the atmosphere rises, more water is evaporated from the surface of the lakes. This causes an increase in the relative humidity leading to more water vapor in the atmosphere. The result is decreased the amount of dissolved oxygen in the water
