Cnidarians are Found Most Abundantly in Which of the Following

Question

Cnidarians are found most abundantly in which of the following habitats?
A)Shallow marine habitats
B)Freshwater habitats
C)Deep ocean habitats
D)Estuary habitats
E)None of the choices is correct

Accepted Answer

Cnidarians, such as corals, jellyfish, anemones, and hydroids, are primarily found in marine environments, particularly in shallow waters where sunlight can penetrate for photosynthesis. Freshwater cnidarians do exist, but they are not as abundant as those in marine habitats. Deep ocean habitats typically do not have enough sunlight for cnidarians to survive and estuary habitats may not have enough salinity or consistent environmental conditions for cnidarians to thrive.
