Ocean acidification is the ongoing decrease in the pH value of the Earth's ocean, caused by its overwhelming uptake of the atmosphere's carbon dioxide produced by human activities. Increasing ocean acidification is not conducive to the growth of marine species and could have a severe impact on the marine ecosystem and human society. For example, ocean acidification could shrink the surface areas of coral reefs and even decimate them completely.

For most fish farmers, maintaining stable water quality is one of the obstacles that they will encounter. It is not only vital but also challenging. In the past, monitoring water quality is mostly tested manually, which is labor intensive and cannot be collected 24/7. That is why Mr. Huang considers Aquadlink a lifesaver.
According to this paragraph, what does the host mean when he says, “That is why Mr. Huang considers Aquadlink a lifesaver.”?
Aquadlink can save Mr. Huang's life.
Aquadlink will help Mr. Huang remain his life.
Aquadlink helps Mr. Huang monitor water quality automatically.
Aquadlink can prevent people from drowning.

There is no need to give the ocean necessary time to recover because overexploitation and destruction from human activities have led to climate change and heavily impacted various industries, especially fisheries. Thus, there is no way to cope with this problem and make up the destruction.

When it comes to its biggest function, Aquadlink can provide comprehensive data automatically. It is equipped with at least four underwater sensors that provide real-time data on the water quality. Precisely, data are collected every five minutes to upload to the cloud. Moreover, these real-time data, such as temperature, oxygen level, pH, oxidation-reduction potential (ORP), and salinity, will be sent directly to the farmer's phone. Once fish farmers have these numbers generated by big data, they will know exactly what to do next.
According to this paragraph, what does the host mean when he says, “Once fish farmers have these numbers generated by big data, they will know exactly what to do next.”?
Fish farmers will have stable finanicial status to make ends meet.
Fish farmers cannot have enough money to buy generators.
Fish farmers can rely on big data and do nothing.
Fish farmers can adjust the water quality of fishing pools scientifically.
