Solution

The correct option is A Mangrove
The Mangrove trees of Pichavaram are located near Chidambaram, Cuddalore. It is the second-largest mangrove forest in the world. These trees have adapted to survive tidal waves. Their roots form a network with the roots of other trees and prevent soil erosion. These trees keep hurricanes and tidal waves from destroying the coastline.
