Respuesta :

Answer:

Bathypelagic

54% of the ocean lies in the Bathypelagic (aphotic) zone into which no light penetrates. This is also called the midnight zone and the deep ocean. Due to the complete lack of sunlight, photosynthesis cannot occur and the only light source is bioluminescence.

Explanation:

The small surface zone that has light is the photic zone. The entire rest of the ocean does not have light and is the aphotic zone.

Permanent darkness below 1000 meters with bioluminescent bacteria, bottom feeders, and angler fish is where no light reaches.

What is Darkness?

This is referred to the state of being dark as a result of absence of light in the area.

The light ray penetration decreases with increase in depth thereby making areas below 1000 meters dark with bioluminescent bacteria, bottom feeders, and angler fish which is why option C was chosen.
