Correct Option: B

AI Explanation

To answer this question, you need to understand the correct preposition to use in the sentence "Turtles can sleep suspended ______ the surface of the water."

Option A) "on" - This option is incorrect because it does not accurately describe the positioning of the turtle in relation to the water's surface. The word "on" implies that the turtle is resting directly on top of the water, rather than being suspended below it.
