Explanation:

To solve this vocabulary matching problem, we analyze each term and its definition:

1. "marine habitat extending from the coast to the continental shelf"

The Neritic Zone is the marine zone that lies above the continental shelf, extending from the coast. So this matches with "Neritic Zone".

1. "microscopic marine algae"

Phytoplankton are microscopic, photosynthetic organisms (including algae) in marine environments. So this matches with "Phytoplankton".

1. "invertebrate aquatic animals such as crab, lobster or shrimp"

Crustaceans are a group of invertebrate animals that include crabs, lobsters, and shrimp. So this matches with "Crustaceans".

1. "area of land underneath the sea and near a continent"

The Continental Shelf is the submerged landmass adjacent to a continent, extending from the coast to the continental slope. So this matches with "Continental Shelf".

Final Matches:

• marine habitat extending from the coast to the continental shelf → Neritic Zone
• microscopic marine algae → Phytoplankton
• invertebrate aquatic animals such as crab, lobster or shrimp → Crustaceans
• area of land underneath the sea and near a continent → Continental Shelf
