After coral is bleached, the most accurate response is:
**The coral is susceptible to starvation.**
Coral bleaching occurs when corals expel the symbiotic algae known as zooxanthellae, which provide them with essential nutrients and energy through photosynthesis. Without these algae, corals can struggle to survive, leading to a state of starvation, although they do not die immediately and may recover if conditions improve.
