D. moving coral to areas less affected by climate change
Assisted migration involves relocating a species to areas that are more suitable for its survival as its natural habitat becomes less hospitable due to climate change. In this case, the high school students will be moving the threatened coral to areas that are less affected by climate change in order to help it survive and thrive.
