Question

select the best evidence to support the statement that some animals spend time in both the sunlit and darker parts of the ocean.

the sunlit zone at the top of the ocean is home to the most living things. here, plants use sunlight to live and grow, providing food for many creatures. deeper down, food is scarce, and animals have to survive on what drifts down from above.

more than 90% of all water in the oceans is dark and below 43°f (6°c)....

plants such as seaweed and tiny diatoms thrive in the brightness. they are eaten by many different kinds of creatures. some larger animals come up from the deep to feed here....

as the light fades, animal eyes get bigger to see in the gloom.

Explanation:

This is the only statement that explicitly describes animals moving between the deep (darker) ocean and the sunlit zone to feed, directly showing they spend time in both areas.

Answer:

Some larger animals come up from the deep to feed here.
