Solution

The correct option is A along a tropical island

<!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> Tropical Coral reefs are fragile and diverse habitats that exist in warm, clear, saline, sunlit waters along continental and island margins, with diversity greatest near the Equator. Southeast Asian seas support over 450 species of scleractinian corals, the western Indian Ocean around 200, and the Caribbean only 50 species.
