Answer 1

The correct answer is the letter B. Water flows in only one direction.

Freshwater wetlands are not connected to the ocean so the water does not flow in one direction. This type of ecosystem can be found along the boundaries of streams, lakes, ponds, or even a hole that is being filled up during rainfall.
