Answer:

A. many shellfish are filter feeders that absorb toxins from the water is the correct answer.

Explanation:

  • shellfish are filter feeders.
  • shellfish filter water by absorbing particles and toxins present in the water, they maintain the water quality by pumping the water with the help of their cilia that cover their gills.
  • Shellfish need a large amount of dissolved oxygen and their excess is a sign of the good quality of water.
  • There are different types of shellfish such as crab, clams, oysters, crayfish, and mussels.

This is due to the reflectance of the surface of the land having a positive relationship with how much energy is absorbed: as the reflectance increases, absorption decreases, and the glacial period increases in severity.</span>
