Answer:

The correct answer is option D.

Explanation:

The free-flowing nets used in oceans to catch fish by their gills are known as drift nets. A net can have a dimension of up to 15 meters deep and 89 kilometers in length. These nets are not selective in nature, as various fishes comprising marine mammals can get trapped in them.  

It can trap turtles, sharks, dolphins, and seabirds. These unwanted organisms are withdrawn from the nets and are thrown back dead by the fisherman into the ocean. The drift nets are an extremely destructive fishing technique and are also banned in various parts of the world.

Suppose you are an astronomer, and a child asks you to explain how long it takes light to travel through space. In your own word
Aleonysh [2.5K]
Ok so I would start by saying that light has a maximum speed, then explain that because space is so big we measure it's distance in light years and which means how light travels in a year at 186,282 miles per second Put that in perspective my saying If you could travel at the speed of light, you could go around the Earth 7.5 times in one second. Tell them Sunlight takes about 8 minutes 19 seconds to reach the Earth and that it can take millions or more light years for more distance stars light to reach our telescopes .
