Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When a shark stops swimming, it can no longer pump water over its gills to extract oxygen, reducing the amount of oxygen it can absorb. This can lead to a lack of oxygen in their bloodstream, making them more susceptible to sinking. Therefore, choices 1 and 3 are correct, while choice 2 is incorrect.
