What happens after coral is bleached?
A). The coral produces peroxides.
B). The coral is susceptible to starvation.
C). The coral releases algae on to a sand dune.
D). The coral dies immediately.

When coral becomes bleached, it loses the algae that provide it with food through photosynthesis. As a result, the coral becomes more susceptible to starvation and is more vulnerable to disease, ultimately leading to the death of the coral if conditions do not improve.
