Correct Answer: Mangrove forest


Solution : The correct answer is Mangrove forest.

Mangrove forests are found in coastal regions at the ecotone of freshwater and Marine ecosystems. Plants found in mangrove forests have a specialised adaptation called pneumatophores, which help them to respire in saline conditions. Mangrove forests act as a barrier against cyclones, which reduces their intensity and safeguards the coastal communities.
