Answer:
C) the sun's rays that fall on the moon's surface.
Explanation:
The moon has different aspects and appearance because of the sun's rays that fall on the moon's surface. The shape of the Moon does not change itself, it occurs due to the sunlight. We only see that part of moon which is lit by the Sun. The phases of moon occur because the Sun lit different parts of the moon when the Moon revolves around the Earth so we can say that sun rays are responsible for the changing of shapes of the moon.

I would guess that the answer would be :'<span>These organisms dig more shallow burrows than they used to.</span>' If the crabs actively dig burrows, as many crab species do, and a layer of oil has persisted in the lower soil strata, it makes sense that the crabs would be reducing the depths of their burrows to avoid contact with the oil. The other possibility is that the crabs might might migrate to deeper waters, but this is less likely because the crabs would be evolved to utilise the intertidal zone.
