C . Solubility of gases in water decreases as the temperature increases due to increased Henry’s constant

D . Aquatic species feel skin burn due to increased temperature of the water.

Answer: Option C
:
C

According Henry’s law of solubility of gases -
$P = K_{H} X$
With increase in temperature increases, thus ‘x’ decreases given the partial pressure of $O_{2}$ remains same.
