Answer:

C. The layers of Earth are uniform in thickness.

Explanation:

The earth is made up of three layers, the crust, the mantle and the core. Each layer has different characteristics and temperatures, becoming warmer as it approaches the core.

The Earth is formed by three layers that are not uniform in thickness, composition, or characteristic. These layers are:

Earth's crust: Most superficial layer, relatively thin structure and very rocky.
Mantle: Located below the crust, it has solid properties.
Core: Earth's warmest inner layer. It has two parts:

Outer core: formed by nickel and liquid iron.
Inner core: Also formed of nickel, but with solid iron.

There is no data to show but there would definitely be a decrease in the population of the other organisms in lower trophic level (sea otter).

Explanation:

In this question, the shark appears to occupy the highest trophic level i.e. tertiary consumer. Ideally, as the food chain progresses from the lowest to highest trophic level, the population of each organism decreases.

However, an increase in the population of sharks will mean more mouths to feed on other consumers. Hence, causing a decrease in the population of other organisms in lower trophic level especially the organism that occupies the secondary consumer trophic level.
