The photic zone is the upper layer of a body of water where sunlight penetrates, allowing photosynthesis to occur. This zone typically extends to about 200 meters deep in the ocean, depending on water clarity. In lakes and rivers, the photic zone is often much shallower, generally limited to the top few meters. Therefore, the point in the body of water closest to the surface is most likely to be in the photic zone.
