Answer 1

The statement that best describes the range of coral reef habitats is:

Coral reefs occur in warm, shallow waters between 30°N latitude and 30°S latitude.

Coral reefs are typically found in warm, shallow marine environments where sunlight can penetrate, which is essential for the photosynthetic organisms (like zooxanthellae) that live in symbiosis with corals.
