I gave my students this multiple choice question: A ship leaks a large amount of oil near a coastal area. Which statement describes how the oil most likely will affect the coastal habitat?

Only one answer is correct among these 4 choices:
- Fish reproduction rates will increase.
- Water birds will be unable to use their wings.
- Water plants will be exposed to more sunlight.
- Coastal plants will have access to more nutrients.

Could you tell me which one is correct?

Water birds will be unable to use their wings.
