Solution
The correct option is C Estuary
The above mentioned marine biome is an estuary. An estuary is an area where a freshwater river or stream meets the ocean or a sea. This results in the estuary having brackish water. Brackish water is relatively less saltier than sea water. In estuaries, water level and salinity rise and fall with the tides. Estuaries are among the most productive ecosystems in the world. Many animals rely on estuaries for food, places to breed, and migration stopovers. They are delicate ecosystems and needs to be preserved.
