Plankton, nekton, and benthos are all terms used in marine biology to describe different types of organisms based on their ability to move or their location in the water column. Nekton are organisms that are able to swim against the current, while plankton are organisms that are unable to swim against the current and are at the mercy of ocean currents. Benthos describes organisms that live on the bottom of the ocean. Neritic refers to a specific ocean zone that extends from the shoreline to the edge of the continental shelf, and is not a category of marine organism like the other three options.
