Correct Answer
B. Dead Zone

Explanation
A "Dead Zone" is an area of the ocean where no life exists due to low oxygen levels. This typically occurs when excess nutrients, such as nitrogen and phosphorus, enter the water and stimulate excessive growth of algae. As the algae die and decompose, they consume oxygen, leading to hypoxia (low oxygen levels) in the water. This lack of oxygen makes it impossible for marine organisms to survive, resulting in a dead zone.
