Answer 1

D. All of the above

At high tide fish will feed among the mangrove roots - rich fishing ground

The trees trap sediment and soil in the river that would flow out to sea which also helps stop erosion

Wildlife utilise almost every part of the tree, with insects and birds, monkeys and lizards in the branches, shrimps and fish in the roots, and snails and clams in the soil
