c. methane hydrates
d. autonomous underwater explorers

please select the best answer from the choices provided

a
b
c
d

Explanation:

Deep sea corals are directly damaged by fishing practices like bottom trawling, which drags heavy gear across the seafloor, destroying their habitats. Ocean microbes are not significantly targeted or harmed by typical fishing, methane hydrates are geological formations unaffected by fishing, and autonomous underwater explorers are human-made tools not negatively impacted by fishing activities.

Answer:

a. deep sea corals
