Formal.
As far as I know, there is no such thing as either standard or practiced diction. Informal is the way you communicate with your friends, for instance, which is not how you would write a thesis paper, legal document, etc.
By the time of the American Revolution (1775–83), American writers had ventured beyond the Puritan literary style and its religious themes and had developed styles of writing that grew from distinctly American
Here are two examples : '' So Carnehan loaded the mules with the rifles that was taken off the camels, and together we starts forward into those bitter cold mountainous parts, and never a road broader than the back of your hand.''
'' My eye could detect no failure in the disguises. The scene in the Serai attested that they were complete to the native mind. There was just the chance, therefore, that Carnehan and Dravot would be able to wander through Afghanistan without detection.''

Answer:
Reefs also serve as valuable sources of seafood and bring in tourist dollars. In Hawaii, the goods and services provided by coral reefs generate about $385 million in business each year.
Explanation:
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's article "Climate change in Hawaii and U.S. tropical islands" reports how the increasing climate temperature affects the overall natural world, especially reporting on the tropical islands and Hawaii. This report argues that the increasing climate will bring not only a change in the coastal and oceanic worlds but also affect the everyday lives of the humans living around it.
The article reports how reefs provide seafood and also promotes tourism, thereby bringing lots of financial profit for the places. Providing the statistics on how much income it generated through tourism, the report claims <em>"...coral reefs generate about $385 million in business each year"</em>. So, if the reefs are destroyed, then this source of income will also be affected. This supports the idea that dying reefs will change how people live their daily lives.
Thus, the correct answer is the fourth/ last option.
