Answer

dolphin and sea worms might be present in the photic zone.<br /><br />The **photic zone** is the uppermost layer of a body of water that receives sufficient sunlight for photosynthesis to occur. <br /><br />* **Dolphins** are mammals that live in the ocean and often swim near the surface to breathe air, placing them in the photic zone.<br />* **Sea worms** encompass a wide variety of species. Many live on the seabed, but some, particularly planktonic worms, inhabit the sunlit waters of the photic zone.<br /><br />Sand is part of the benthic zone (the bottom), whether it's in shallow, sunlit water or not. Lions are terrestrial mammals and do not live in the ocean.<br />
