Fish group in schools because it provides benefits such as protection from predators, conservation of energy while swimming, and a more effective search for food. However, staying cooler is NOT a benefit derived from being in a school, because a group of organisms have a higher temperature than the individual.

This means the right answer is C, stay cooler in warm water is not a reason for fish to form schools.
