Consider the following Organisms and its zone of occurrence:

(3) Aphotic: Reef fish
Which of the above matches are correct?
The correct option is B Only 1 and 2
The benthic zone is the ecological region at the lowest level of a body of water such as an ocean or a lake, including the sediment surface and some sub-surface layers. The organisms generally live in close relationship with the substrate bottom and many are permanently attached to the bottom. Ex: Coral
Reef fish is fish which live amongst or in close relation to coral reefs. Coral reefs form complex ecosystems with tremendous biodiversity.
Pelagic is any water in a sea or lake that is neither close to the bottom nor near the shore
The aphotic zone is the portion of a lake or ocean where there is little or no sunlight. It is formally defined as the depths beyond which less than 1% of sunlight penetrates. Consequently, bioluminescence is essentially the only light found in this zone. Unusual and unique creatures dwell in this expanse of pitch black water, such as the gulper eel, the giant squid, the anglerfish, and the vampire squid.
