The correct answer is option A

The corals need clean and clear water that can allow the direct sunlight to pass to through it and reach corals.  

The sediments and the plankton on the surface of the water can cloud the water and decreases the amount of sunlight reaching the corals (zooxanthellae)

As a result of this the coral population would decrease in population due to lack of sunlight.

What are some of the challenges scientists most overcome when studying extreme environments such as deep space or the deep ocean
kvv77 [185]

Let us look at the what, why and how of studying extreme places like the deep earth and the deep space. Scientists need to figure out as to 'what' they want to look at such places, be it a new exotic creature or bio-genesis (birth of life). Unless there are several testable hypothesis constructed, such a study cannot begin. The 'why' aspect deals with the purpose of such research and expeditions. Is it of any use to the humans, or will it improve our current understanding of a phenomenon? The 'how' aspect deals with the technology and the economic assistance that can help in undertaking such a research. All these are the challenges that needed to be thoroughly considered to make such a research or expedition possible.
