Most animals that live in deep oceanic waters are:

1. secondary consumers
2. tertiary consumers
3. detritivores
4. primary consumers

Correct answer: detritivores

Solution

Deep ocean waters receive little to no sunlight, so photosynthesis is not possible there. Most animals therefore depend on dead organic material that sinks from above, making them detritivores.
