O A. Scientific disagreement
O B. Forming a hypothesis
O c. Making observations

Correct answer is Making observations. Scientists need to keep the observations and research they do organized. The scientific method is a process of steps that helps scientists find answers to problems or questions. The first step in the scientific method is called the hypotheses

So the answer is option C Making observations

answer: - few nutrients

high pressure

low temperatures

explanation: 1. few nutrients:   open-ocean zone is located way far from the land, which is the main source of the essential nutrients.2. high pressure: pressure increases by 1 atmosphere for every 10 meters increase in depth.3. ample sunlight: a large fraction of the sunlight is reflected back to the atmosphere from the sea surface. 4. varying salinity: below the thermocline, the water is isolated from the atmosphere so the salinity remains stable over the year.5. low temperatures:   the temperature of open-ocean zone ranges from a low of -2°c to an average of 17°c
