Answer 2

The correct answer is option b, the epipelagic zone

Epipelagic zone extends from the surface of the ocean to 200 meters deep from the surface. This is where maximum sunlight enters the ocean. Phytoplanktons are autotrophs, they use sunlight for photosynthesis, and prepare their own food. They are the primary producers in the food web and provide food for the higher animals in the ocean.
