Solution

The correct option is D Deep in sea
The reliance of corals on some algae for nutrition. Photosynthesis requires light, and the dependence of corals on zooxanthallae limits corals to shallow depths. Most reef building corals occur in less than 25 m of seawater.
So, the correct answer is 'Deep in Sea'.
