The correct answer is - c. Coral reefs provide resources for aquatic organisms and derive resources from other organisms as well.

The corals are essential part of the marine ecosystems. They are feeding upon zooplankton, but also their polyps get sugar that is produced by the algae living on them. Also, the corals provide much needed shelter for lots of marine animals, but also are on the menu of some, like the starfish for example.
