Seasonal conditions influence the life cycle of marine organisms. Many animals that inhabit lakes have a reproductive process that occurs during the spring. Which best explains why this is beneficial?

During this time the temperatures are low at the bottom of the lake where the processes take place.

The metabolism of animals is slowest at this time so their demands for food are low.

During this time the oxygen levels are higher at the top of the lake where the processes take place.

The cycling of water during this time produces consistent temperatures at each depth.

The cycling of water during this time produces consistent temperatures at each depth. Most marine organisms are cold blooded and require warm water temperatures to carry out their life processes at optimum.
