The correct order of the zones of depths in a lake from shallowest to deepest is:
D) Littoral, limnetic, profundal.
- Littoral Zone: The shallow area near the shore where sunlight penetrates and where plants can grow.
- Limnetic Zone: The open water away from the shore, where organisms like plankton and fish can be found, and sunlight still reaches a certain depth.
- Profundal Zone: The deep, dark part of the lake where sunlight does not penetrate, making it difficult for photosynthesis to occur.
