Solution

The correct option is A Euphotic zone
The top zone is the euphotic or sunlit zone. This is the ocean zone that sunlight penetrates. Because this zone gets sunlight, photosynthesis can occur and plants can grow here. Animals in this zone usually have shiny bodies reflecting light away to merge with shiny water surface, which makes them seem transparent.
