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.

the only reason i am wasting one of the two answers your post is allowed to get is because its been 3 hours and no one has answered yet.

Which process is most responsible for the increase in early Earth’s atmospheric oxygen levels?
Alex
The answer is photosynthesis.

<span>Photosynthesis occurs in the leaves of green plants. During photosynthesis, carbon dioxide and water are converted into using the energy of sunlight to glucose and oxygen. After great evolution of plants, the photosynthetic rate was increased. More plants mean more oxygen produced in the process of photosynthesis. Thus, photosynthesis </span><span> is most responsible for the increase in early Earth’s atmospheric oxygen levels.</span>
