The zone labelled II is called
A
supra-tidal zone

Ask EduPadi AI for a detailed answer
Correct Option: C
The diagram likely represents a zonation in an aquatic environment, such as an ocean or a lake.
- Littoral zone: This zone is the intertidal zone, the area between high and low tide marks. Zone II in the diagram likely represents the area exposed to air during low tide and submerged during high tide, thus fitting the description of the littoral zone.
- Supra-tidal zone: This is the area above the high tide mark and is not typically part of the intertidal zone.
- Pelagic zone: This refers to the open water column.
- Benthic zone: This is the bottom of the water body.
