Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The presence of an underwater volcano is not a necessary condition for the growth of coral. The other options listed are all necessary for coral growth. Coral needs warm saltwater to survive and shallow water for sunlight to reach the algae that lives within it, providing the coral with the energy it needs to grow. Additionally, coral relies on the presence of tiny marine animals, specifically polyps, which provide the coral with food and help it to form its shape.
