Solution

The correct options are
A More nutrients
B High temperature
D More light
Animals and plants living in surface waters have access to more nutrients, increased temperatures, reduced pressure and more light and therefore lack the adaptations of deep sea creatures that must live in highly pressurised, cold, dark waters with scarce nutrients.
