Ten million

On March 24, 1989, the oil truck Exxon Valdez reached Alaska's Prince William Sound, after leaving the Valdez Marine Terminal full of crude oil. At 12:04 am, the ship uncovered a reef, ripping open the hull and discharging nearly 10 million gallons of oil into the atmosphere. Initial acknowledgments by Exxon and the Alyeska Pipeline Company were inadequate to accommodate much of the spill, and a hurricane swept in soon after, spreading the oil extensively.

Eventually, more than 1,000 miles of coastline were polluted, and hundreds of thousands of species of plants and animals died damaging the marine life to the greatest extent.

Alisiya [41]

Answer:

B. Virus.

Explanation:

Hello.

In this case, since bacteria (A.) reproduce via asexual reproduction via mitosis and the animal (D.) and vegetal (C.) cells could reproduce via sexual or asexual reproduction depending on the organism, they do not need a host to start the replication of the DNA and therefore reproduce. In such a way, it is widely known that viruses need a host that facilitates the replication of their DNA or RNA (depending on the virus) since they only have their genetic information but they do not have neither the RNA nor the DNA polymerase that favor such process, that is why they need a host.

Best regards.
