`\left[\begin{array}{ccc}Given&Information\end{array}\right]`

[ Long, Thin Body ]

[ removed From Sediments ]

[ Found Near Shore On The Continental Shelf ]

`\left[\begin{array}{ccc}Answer&Choices\end{array}\right]`

[ a ] as nekton

[ b ] "As A Benthic Organism."

[ c ] as plankton

[ d ] there is not enough information to tell

Answer 2

I think benthic would be the best answer, as benthic creatures are known to live at the very bottom of oceans or lake and they like to live in a sediment surface! Nektons are sea creatures who are known as a living organism able to swim against the ocean's currents freely. Plankton are just little organisms that float around in the ocean and do their own thing. I really hope this helps in some way!!
