Question 1
Humans commonly view oysters as food (e.g., in cuisine). Other options (valuable for shells, dangerous, fossils) are less typical primary views.
Female oysters release eggs in warm water (reproductive biology of oysters; temperature triggers spawning). Other options don't align with oyster reproduction.
Under right conditions, oysters repeat egg - laying every few days (biological cycle of oyster reproduction; not daily, every few years, or 800 million years).
