Q: The ocean minimum zone, or OMZ, is an area from 200 to 600 meters below the ocean's surface. The OMZ is dark and cold, with oxygen concentrations less than 10% of concentrations in surface water.

Given the conditions in the OMZ, which of these dissolved gases would you expect to find in large concentrations in this zone?  
 (A) argon (B) nitrogen (C) carbon dioxide (D) carbon monoxide
