The correct option is C 85%
Biomass, is the mass of living biological organisms in a given area or ecosystem at a given time.
Biomass can refer to species biomass, which is the mass of one or more species, or to community biomass, which is the mass of all species in the community. It can include microorganisms, plants or animals. The mass can be expressed as the average mass per unit area, or as the total mass in the community. The plants in oceans account for 85 percent of the total global biomass production on Earth.
So, the correct answer is '85%'
