Answer: The correct answer for the fill in the blank is Pond.

Pond is a small, shallow, and stationary water body. Therefore, sunlight penetrates properly throughout the body making a constant temperature from its top to the bottom.

On the contrary, ocean, lakes, and lagoon are the dynamic water bodies and have temperature gradients from top to their bottom.

The correct answer is B. Pond

Oceans and lakes have huge diversity when it comes to temperature, while lagoons also have them except they're not as vast.
