Answer: D.  warmer ocean temperatures

Explanation:

The coral polyp is an organism which colonizes with other members of the same species to form coral reef of hard skeleton of calcium carbonate. These organisms forms a mutualistic relationship with the algae called as zooxanthellae. The algae share oxygen, food prepared after photosynthesis and also provides them with color and the algae obtains shelter from the coral population.

Coral bleaching is a phenomena of removal of the algal colony from the surface of the coral reef. This occurs due to the change in temperature of the oceanic water. The increase in the temperature of the oceanic water swells up the algae and this leads to the removal of the algal colony from the coral reef. The coral reef get exposed to the external water environment becomes white due to loss of the algal colony from the surface. This  is a kind of natural bleaching effect.

What is not a unique property of water
timofeeve [1]

Answer:

Water molecules stick together by cohesion

Explanation:

This sticking together of like substances is called cohesion. Depending on how attracted molecules of the same substance are to one another, the substance will be more or less cohesive. Hydrogen bonds cause water to be exceptionally attracted to each other. Therefore, water is very cohesive.
