Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The near-shore zone of a body of water is called the littoral zone. In marine environments, this zone is also referred to as the neritic zone, which extends from the shore to the edge of the continental shelf. Therefore, the correct pair of words for describing the near-shore zone of a body of water are neritic and littoral.

 The limnetic zone of a freshwater body refers to the open water away from the shore and is synonymous with the pelagic zone in a marine environment. However, neither of these terms specifically describes the near-shore zone of a body of water, so option E is not correct.
