The littoral zone is the zone close to shore. We can expect this zone to be shallow, and that sunlight would reach the lake floor. Therefore, the answer is a: sunlight reaches its bottom. Macrophytes can be rooted to the lake floor within the littoral zone and still obtain sufficient sunlight for photosynthesis.
