Answer:

D. A periodic warming of sea surface temperatur e.

Step-by-step explanation:

Loggerhead turtles and Humboldt squids normally lives in the south coast of Mexican. These animals are sensitive to temperature. Due to warming waters during El Niño events, these animals migrated toward the North (coast of California).

PS: In the tropical eastern Pacific, if the sea temperatures rise 0.5 °C above the long-term average, the condition is declared as El Niño.
