The correct answer is:
**a lanternfish on the Atlantic Ocean floor.**
Lanternfish are capable of bioluminescence and can exist in deep-sea environments where sunlight does not penetrate. They are part of the deep-sea ecosystem, where energy and matter can be cycled through processes like chemosynthesis and the consumption of organic matter, demonstrating that ecosystems can function without sunlight.
