Which sentence from the article supports the idea that the visible spectrum is more limited in marine animals than humans? A Most bioluminescent organisms are found in the ocean, including bioluminescent fish, bacteria and jellies. B Most marine bioluminescence is blue-green, which is easier to see in the deep ocean. C Most organisms, however, flash their light for less than a second to about 10 seconds. D Most fish can only see blue light, so loosejaws have an enormous advantage when they light up a surrounding area.

Most marine bioluminescence is blue-green, which is easier to see in the deep ocean

Explanation:

As per science, Emission and production of light by a living organism is defined as Bioluminescence. Bioluminescence occurs widely in marine animals whereas it is triggered by a physical disturbance is seen by humans, such as a moving boat hull or waves.

Throughout the water column bioluminescent organisms live and bioluminescence is extremely common in deep sea which shows that visible spectrum is more limited to marine animals than humans.
