Answer:

The correct answer is d. Oxygen

Explanation:

Phytoplanktons are responsible for the fixation of approximately half of the global carbon therefore seawater has high CO2 concentration which is required by phytoplanktons to make their food.  

They are the primary producers of oceans and they are responsible to support the food chain of oceans. Factors that can limit their growth are mainly sunlight and nutrients like phosphorus, nitrogen, etc.

As phytoplanktons are photosynthetic they release oxygen itself as a byproduct therefore oxygen is not a limiting factor to phytoplanktons. So the right answer is d.

First, we have C6. The C represents Carbon, and there are six atoms present. Next, we have H12. The H represents Hydrogen, and there are twelve atoms present. Finally, we have O6. The O represents Oxygen, and there are six atoms present.

Combined, these atoms make our lovely glucose, a form of sugar that plant produce in the process of photosynthesis.
