Answer:

The photograph is missing in this question.

The correct answer is --- Calcareous

Step-by-step explanation:

Calcareous means composing of partly or mostly of calcium carbonate. It means it contains lime or is chalky.

In oceans or sea floors, calcareous sediments are deposited in a shallow water near the land surface, since marine organisms depositing carbonate needs to be land derived nutrients.

Hence the answer is -- calcareous.
