Answer 6

I don't agree with your answer.
After researching about some of this topic, I find my evidence to conclude,

After all sea-grass gets ripped up, the grass will float, blocking the surface lighting the sun gives when the light hits the water. Therefore increasing turbidity in the water, causes coral to bleach white. In conclusion, we can find our correct answer to be;

C.) Reefs will receive less sunlight due to increased turbidity in the water.


I hope that helps Mr/Ms.Gucchi.
