An oil spill has occurred close to a coral reef, threatening to spread out over hundreds of miles. Why would the method seen in the picture be effective at preserving the area? a. It acts as a floating barrier that keeps oil on the surface from contaminating the reef. b. It allows oil-eating bacteria to pass through it, eliminating the oil spill before it reaches the reef. c. It creates additional waves and currents, which help push the oil away from the habitat. d. It produces special chemicals that would protect the reef by inducing dormancy in the animals.
