Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Copepods are small crustaceans that feed on algae and can therefore suppress the growth of algal blooms. By introducing copepods into an area with high algal abundance, they can help control the severity of the blooms. The other choices (A, B, C) are not likely to alleviate the severity of the blooms. Dinoflagellates can actually contribute to harmful algal blooms, plankton are not specific enough to indicate a potential solution, and primary producers (such as algae themselves) would not alleviate the severity of the blooms.
