<h2>(B) is the correct option </h2>

Explanation:

  • The area between 200 and 1,000 meters (656 and 3,280 feet) is the mesopelagic or “twilight” zone  
  • Light intensity in this zone is severely reduced with increasing depth, so light penetration is minimal
  • About 20 percent of primary production from the surface falls down to the mesopelagic zone
  • There are no plants in this zone, because there is not enough light for photosynthesis
  • Octopus, squid, and the hatchet fish are some of the animals that can be found in this zone
  • Many animals in this zone have thin bodies that help them hide from predators
  • Some animals that live in this zone make their own light with bioluminescence
  • They make light with special organs in their bodies called photophores which give off a greenish light

as compared with the production of egg cells, sperm cell production A) involves a jellylike outer covering b) occurs at a slower
Bingel [31]

The correct answer is:  d) begins later in life

Eggs or female reproductive cells are formed well before birth in a huge number (primordial oocytes). But, the number of oocyte decreases after birth constantly (there are 2 million oocytes at birth and 40,000 of them in puberty). At menopause, no egg cells are left.

On the other hand, the first sperms are formed only from puberty, but the production of those cells never stops.
