Answer D) Radiation
Answer comes from diagram shown in question
Invertebrates and fish that eat dead organic matter will be most abundant in the<u> benthic zone of freshwater lakes.</u>
In a marine water body, the most lowest zone in terms of ecology is called benthic zone. It name comes from the Greek letter βένθος which means 'depths'.
In this zone, sediments lay down at floor of the sea and provide essential nutrients and minerals to the organisms living in this zone.
Benthic zone, also referred to as ecological zone, possesses peculiar characteristics such as high pressure and low temperature.
The sediments of this zone recycle the nutrients and help in the survival of aquatic organisms.

B and C)
They often obtain most of their nutrients through the cell membrane as diffusion is able to take place passively and so at no energy loss to the organism, this can be essential for a single celled organism as they are able to produce a lot less energy due to having fewer mitochondria in comparison to multicellular organisms.
They also require few resources as single celled organisms are very small and so require only a small amount of raw resources for respiration because they have a small energy demand to meet.
Answer:
A. True
Explanation:
The result indicates that taking calcium has no effect on the development of osteomalacia in the women. This is because, of the over 120 women placed on the calcium supplements, it happens to be minimal number of people ( less than 20 people) that develop the osteomalacia disease of the bone.
The teratogens can be defined as any physical, chemical, or infections agents that have the ability to penetrate the protective layers of the embryo, and affect its viability. The overall development and the development of the different organ systems might be affected because of these teratogens. When the embryo is exposed to the teratogens after the organogenesis is complete, it is most likely that the fetus will suffer from the stunted growth. When the organogenesis is complete, the organs are already formed, and hence, no severe damage can occur to them. Down's syndrome will result if the chromosomal abnormality occur in the fetus, which is not likely after the organogenesis is already complete. Any kind of severe anatomical defects are also least likely after organogenesis is completed. Therefore, the chances of having stunted growth are high.
