Answer:

B. From 200 m to the surface

Step-by-step explanation:

Photosynthesis is a process which is light-dependent. Therefore, regions where light availability is not sufficient or event absent will not support photosynthesis.

In the oceans, light availability decreases with increasing depth. Below, a certain depth in the ocean, light availability becomes insufficient to support photosynthesis and this is usually below 200 m. The uppermost region of the ocean from 200 m to the surface of the ocean is sufficiently illuminated to permit photosynthesis by phytoplankton and plants. This region is called the euphotic zone.

Therefore, from the attached image, the correct option is B, since it represents the euphotic zone of the ocean.
