Question

Which sentence from the section with the heading The Effect on Ocean Creatures reveals a danger beyond the immediate area of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch?
"Since the digestive systems of fish and albatrosses differ, it’s possible that plastic may harm albatrosses but not harm the fish.

"However, the abundance of water skater eggs could lead to an imbalance in the ecosystem because water skaters and crabs may need to compete with local ocean creatures for food."

"The hard surface of the plastic pieces can help transport invasive species."


"Birds and fish think the plastic is food, so they eat it."

Answer 1

Answer:

However, the abundance of water skater eggs could lead to an imbalance in the ecosystem because  water skaters and crabs may need to compete with local ocean creatures for food.

Explanation:

The question was asking about the effect on ocean creature beyond the garbage patch. So the statement is showing an imbalance in the complete aquatic ecosystem. As, one specie grows in more number results in the specie lower in number on which it is feeding in turn the first specie has to starve to death resulting in complete destruction pf the ecosystem.
