D. Plants, which release oxygen, live near the surface of the ocean,

where they receive large amounts of sunlight.

Explanation:

Plants are the multicellular and eukaryotic organisms which are autotrophic in nature. Autotrophic means they are able to prepare their own food in the process of photosynthesis. Stomata opens in daytime due to the presence of sunlight through which carbondioxide gas enters into the leaves through stomata and water is absorbed from the soil through roots.
