Question

1. penguins are being rescued off the coast as a recent oil spill has affected their natural ability to regulate temperature. which option best describes what must have occurred off the coast? (1 pt) (1 point) a. ozone layer depletion b. waste spill c. runoff d. biomass loss

Explanation:

The question states the penguins are affected by a recent oil spill that harms their temperature regulation. A waste spill (specifically oil, a type of waste) matches this scenario. Ozone layer depletion affects UV exposure, runoff is surface water flow, and biomass loss refers to reduced organism mass, none of which align with the described oil spill event.

Answer:

B. waste spill
