Solution

The correct option is C Phytoplankton
Correct Answer: (b)

The primary production in the ocean is performed by free-living microscopic organisms called phytoplankton. Larger autotrophs, such as the sea grasses and seaweeds are generally confined within the photic zone. The majority of free-floating production takes place within microscopic organisms (phytoplankton).
