Bivalve communities that live near “black smokers” obtain their food mostly from:
A.
symbiotic bacteria.
B.
symbiotic algae.
C.
detritus.
D.
filter-feeding.

Filter.

Answer 3

Symbiotic bacteria are bacteria living in symbiosis with another organism or each other. For example, Zoamastogopera, found in the stomach of termites, enable them to digest cellulose

Symbiotic algae - Where organisms live together and both benefit.

Detritus - organic matter produced by the decomposition of organisms.

Filter - Filter feeders are animals that feed by straining suspended matter and food particles from water, typically by passing the water over a specialized filtering structure.

That should explain all of them in detail.
