A) Algae

Reason- PHOTic means the light area of the ocean. The root PHOT/PHOS is latin for light. Algae must have light to perform photosynthesis.

Answer:

A) algae

Step-by-step explanation:

Algae are organisms that perform photosynthesis, thus producing the energy for their metabolism (autotrophic beings), so algae represent the organism that needs to live in the photic zone of the ocean biome, as they need light to perform the reactions. photosynthetic. They live in water or environments with high humidity.

By performing photosynthesis, algae have long been classified as plants. However, only green algae have a relationship with the evolution of plants.
