Respuesta :

I thing it’s c because the byssal hair need sunlight

Answer:

B) As an anchor against tidal action

Explanation:

Byssal hairs (or threads) are used to anchor organisms to rocks and other solid surfaces to protect them from wave shock (tidal action).

These hairs/threads stretch out in many directions to hold the organism in place. Mussels are an example of an organism that uses byssal threads.
