Answer 2

Correct answer: B). Sunlight

Corals are found near the shallow water because it needs clear water that allows the sunlight to pass through it, they are not able to survive in when the water becomes opaque.

Presence of plankton and sediment can cloud the water, which decreases the amount of sunlight that reaches the corals. Corals are found in tropical and subtropical water.
