Solution

The correct option is C O2
Aquatic animals use oxygen gas dissolved in water to respire.
The oxygen dissolve in marine water by diffusion from the surrounding air; aeration of water that has tumbled over falls and rapids; and as a waste product of photosynthesis. This dissolved oxygen is then used by marine animals for respiration.
