• A. Nekton
• B. Neuston
• C. Benthonic

Answer 1

The correct option is C Benthonic

The common starfish is to be found on rocky and gravelly substrates where it feeds on molluscs and other benthic invertebrates (Benthos is the community of organisms that live on, in, or near the seabed, river, lake, or stream bottom, also known as the benthic zone. This community lives in or near marine or freshwater sedimentary environments, from tidal pools along the foreshore, out to the continental shelf, and then down to the abyssal depths)

So, the correct answer is 'C'.
