A
Correct answer
Explanation
Estuaries are coastal areas where fresh water from rivers and streams mixes with salt water from the ocean. These transition zones are influenced by tides but are protected from waves, currents, and storms. They create unique ecosystems that support diverse plant and animal life adapted to changing salinity levels.
