Answer: Option C - decomposers; they return biotic material to the abiotic component of the Earth

Explanation:

Decomposers are also known as SAPROPHYTES. They feed on and break down dead and decaying remains of plants and animals, thus enabling the release of certain compounds like ammonia, methane gas etc into the environment that then enrich/improve the soil fertility.

What are some water pollution management strategies, what do you think is the best one and why?
lesantik [10]

Answer:

There are plenty of things that we as individuals can do to slow down the amount of pollution going into the ocean, these could include not flushing anything down the toilet that won't disintegrate (because no matter where you live, all toilet pipes lead to the ocean), converting plastic use to reusable materials; this could include using reusable straws, water bottles, shopping bags, etc. and of course, when you need to throw plastic out, always recycle. :)  

Explanation:

I believe the best way an individual can help the oceans is by converting plastics to reusable or at least eco-friendly products. If everyone made a conscious effort to do this, the oceans would be MUCH clearer.

Hope this helps!
