Solution

When Lake Mead reaches "dead pool" levels, then:

  • the dam will no longer be able to generate power
  • water withdrawals will no longer be possible

These two options are correct because the "dead pool" level refers to a point where the water level is so low that it can no longer flow out of the dam to generate power or be withdrawn for use.

The entire lake will not have dried up, there will still be water in the lake, but it will be below the level at which it can be used.

Oxygen levels in the water will not necessarily decrease to a point where all organisms will die. While lower water levels can lead to lower oxygen levels, it's not a direct correlation and other factors can influence oxygen levels as well.
