Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The presence of crabs and mangrove trees along with moist soil indicates that the location is closer to the seashore or coastline, where the intertidal zone is located. The intertidal zone is the area between the high tide and low tide marks, where organisms such as crabs and mangrove trees live. Therefore, the best choice is C) intertidal. The other options (A) benthic, (B) littoral, (D) neritic, and (E) pelagic refer to other zones in the ocean, but they do not fit the description of the location given in the question.
