correct answer A

Step-by-step explanation:

An estuary is a wide area at the mouth of a river where it meets the sea.

It is a biome where fresh water from the river mixes with salt water from the ocean, resulting in a diluted (brackish) saltwater.

Estuaries are important breeding grounds for various organisms and have high biodiversity.
