Need Help!!! 30 points! You are monitoring coral growth on a specific site for several months. Over time, you notice that some o

f the coral colonies are beginning to turn white and die. What process could you infer is happening on the coral reef site?

C) The coral reef is experiencing climate change, so the rise in ocean temperatures is causing the coral to bleach as the zooxanthellae algae leaves the coral polyps.

(D) The coral reef is experiencing climate change, so the coral will die off from seasonal variation, which has no impact on zooxanthellae algae in the coral polyps.
