A．would definitely become extinct
B．could have their growth damaged

参考答案
正确答案：B
解析：该句提到，即使石油不会夺去这些生物的生命，也会带来慢性的、长期的影响，比如，破坏其生长和繁殖。该句中的这些生物(these organisms)指代的是首句提到的fish, deep-sea corals…and other critters。由此可知，石油也会破坏fish和deep—sea corals等生物的生长和繁殖。题干中的exposed to oil对应原文的oil exposure，[B]could have their growth damaged是对impaired growth的同义转述，故为答案。
