Begin by understanding the habitat preferences of starfish and sea urchins. These marine organisms are typically found in saltwater environments.
Consider the environmental conditions required for the survival of starfish and sea urchins, such as salinity, temperature, and food availability.
Evaluate each option given in the problem: shallow coastal waters, deep ocean trenches, freshwater lakes, and polar ice caps.
Shallow coastal waters are known for their biodiversity and are a common habitat for many marine species, including smaller starfish and sea urchins.
Deep ocean trenches, freshwater lakes, and polar ice caps are less likely to support these species due to extreme conditions or lack of suitable habitat.
