    Explanation:

    Ocean Acidification

    • Increased carbon dioxide absorption by the ocean leads to higher acidity.

    • Reduced availability of carbonate ions necessary for shell formation and maintenance.

    • The ocean is the most acidic in winter because cooler water absorbs more CO2. This means, the winter months are the most dangerous for the shelled sea butterflies. 

    Hence only statement 1st is correct.
