They are pervasive and play many different roles in the marine environment, from being the base of the food chain, controlling much of the flow of marine energy and nutrients, and being essential to the ocean's health.
There are a few very good reasons why the change in the ice mass results in a decline in the populations of penguins. One reason is the penguins food source grows and develops under the the ice masses. Another reason is a loss of habitat for the penguins. When there is less ice, there are fewer krill for the penguins to eat.
The answer is the first group
The correct answer is: [B]: "decreased" .

In a graph of "coal reserves in the United States" vs. "time" ;
→ the "time" is the "independent variable" that belongs on the "x-axis" .
→ The quantity or amount of "coal reserves in the United States" is the "dependent variable" that belongs on the "y-axis" .
If the graph "slopes downward" ; this would indicate a "decrease" in the amount/quantity of "coal reserves" over "time" .
→ As the value of "x" increases — "time" increases — and; as "x" increases, the value of "y" {the amount/quantity of "coal reserves"} decreases.
→ This would be represented by a "downward sloping" graph;
→ and, among the answer choices given, could indicate that coal production:

→ "decreased" ;

→ which is: Answer choice: [B]: "decreased" .
