根据原文 Professor: Larval CoT starfish eat phytoplankton in their first month of life, so more fertilizer in the ocean means more phytoplankton, which means more starfish, bad for the reefs. 前面教授提到说:“肥料排导致水富营养化,这些营养被 “phytoplankton” 也就是浮游植物吸收,然后开始疯长。CoT 海星在幼年时期吃浮游植物,浮游植物增多,意味着 CoT 海星有更多食物,数量就会增长。A 选项正确。
