a. Reproductive assurance: any individual of the same species is a potential mate
b. Excess energy: excess resources can be allocated to the other sex function
c. Size advantage: males are more successful when large, but female fitness does not change with size
d. Small body size: one sex or the other needs only a miniscule body size for full function

Answer:

<em>The correct option is A)  Reproductive assurance: any individual of the same species is a potential mate.</em>

Explanation:

A hermaphrodite can be described as an organism that is capable to produce gametes associated with both the male and female sexes. It has a complete or partial reproductive organ.

In the deep sea, biodiversity is scarce. There are limited amounts of organisms present. Hence, to have a reproductive assurance, the organisms present in the deep sea are mostly hermaphrodite. Hence, they will be able to mate with any organism of the same species.
