Solution

  1. Light penetrates lake and pond regions to differing degrees.
  2. Phytoplankton are dominant producers in the photic zone.

The other two statements are incorrect. Decomposers can be found throughout the lake or pond, not just near the shore. Also, rooted plants cannot thrive below the photic zone because they need sunlight for photosynthesis, which is not available in the deeper, darker parts of the water body.
