Explanation
Statement A is correct: Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) represents the quantity of organic matter in water that can be chemically oxidized. Statement B is partially accurate but incomplete; COD is typically measured by oxidizing organic substances with potassium dichromate in a concentrated sulfuric acid solution under boiling conditions for a set duration. Statement C is true as well; COD values are related to Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), but the relationship varies depending on the type of wastewater. Therefore, only statement A is fully correct as given.
