Solution

The correct option is B littoral
The freshwater ecosystem is broadly divided into three zones based on light penetration. The littoral zone, also known as the shallow zone is the area near the shore. The littoral zone is followed by the limnetic zone that receives ample light from the sun. Next to the limnetic zone, is the profundal zone that is very cold and dimly lit.
