Answer 1

it is affected by tides that's the conclusion I have come to

Answer 2

Answer: D) It is affected by tides.

==========================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

An estuary is where a river pours into the ocean. So that means fresh water mixes with salt water here. This allows us to rule out choices A and B.

According to NOAA, their site says "Estuaries are one of the most productive ecosystems in the world, so there is a great diversity of animals and plants that live there". In other words, a lot of plants and animals live here, so we can rule out choice C.

Choice D is the answer because tides do affect estuaries. This is simply because the ocean is pretty much right next to it, or attached to it. So it's expected that a high tide would cause the water level in an estuary to increase.
