Explanation:

Biorock technology is an innovative process originally invented in 1976 by the late architect to produce natural building materials in the sea. Biorock technology has been successfully applied to fish and shellfish mariculture as well as to growing limestone breakwaters to protect islands and coastal areas from erosion and rising sea levels. It is a unique method that allows coral reefs, and other marine ecosystems including seagrass, salt marsh, mangrove, and oyster reefs to survive and recover.

Hence option (a) is the correct answer.
