A group of students is trying to grow a kelp plant in a tank without any others animals. They use a temperature regulation syste

m to keep the water temperature at about 12°C. They bury the holdfast below the soil that has been enriched with nutrients and place the plant near a window in direct sunlight. However, over a few weeks the kelp plant withers and dies. Why did this happen?
A.
The kelp draws nutrients from the water rather than the soil, which it does not have available.
B.
The water temperature is too low for the kelp plant to survive.
C.
Kelp cannot grow in direct sunlight and need to be kept in a shaded location.

I have read the question several times and I believe "A.The kelp draws nutrients from the water rather than the soil, which it does not have available." would be your answer.

Although it is true that kelp is temperature sensitive, the question states that "They use a temperature regulation system to keep the water temperature at about 12°C." So even with the added addition of sunlight, I think the temperature still stays generally the same. And as long as the temperature is between 5-20 C degrees, the kelp should be okay.

However, kelp does not work the same as most land plants, kelp does not have a root system. It instead has a "holdfast" anchoring system that does not transport nutrients. So how does kelp get nutrients? From the water directly. Since the question says nothing about nutrients in the water, and directly talks about nutrients in the soil, we can assume that their is no nutrients in the water (only in the soil). Making A our answer.

This is a copy/pasted answer from a question I also answered.
