Answer:

The correct answer is option D) "acidification of the ocean caused by increased atmospheric carbon dioxide emissions that dissolve in water".

Explanation:

According to scientific evidence, coral reefs and many organisms that have calcium carbonate shells are affected by high carbon dioxide emissions. When sea water absorbs carbon dioxide, the pH of water is reduced in what is known as acidification of the ocean. In consequence, less calcium carbonate is available for coral reefs to be used as shells, which traduces as a major threat for their populations.

The suns energy drives which of the following processes?
Delicious77 [7]
The sun's energy drives various processes on earth. One of these processes is photosynthesis in plants whereby light energy is converted into chemical energy by forming carbohydrates from carbon dioxide plus water, which is a process which usually gives off oxygen which animals need to breathe. Another process driven by the sun's energy could be evaporation of water into the air to form water vapour  and clouds which then precipitate when cooled off over mountains so is involved in the water cycle.
