C. Mountains
D. None of these

Answer 1

In ecology, the term habitat refers to the collection of resources, physical and biological factors that exist in a given area to help a species survive and reproduce. The habitat of a species can be thought of as the physical manifestation of its ecological niche.

Complete answer:
An organism's habitat is the place where it makes its home. Thus, "habitat" is a species-specific term, as opposed to concepts like "environment" or "vegetation assemblages," which should be referred to as "habitat-type".
Polar, temperate, subtropical, and tropical habitats are examples of geographical habitat types. Forest, steppe, grassland, semi-arid, and desert are examples of terrestrial vegetation types. Marshes, streams, rivers, lakes, and ponds are examples of freshwater habitats; salt marshes, the coast, the intertidal zone, estuaries, reefs, bays, the open sea, the sea bed, deep water, and submarine vents are examples of marine habitats.
A habitat with water is known as an aquatic habitat. It includes areas that are permanently submerged in water as well as areas that are submerged from time to time. Aquatic plants have long, hollow, and light stems. The stems reach the water's surface, while the leaves and flowers float on the surface. So, If you are to come across a plant with a long but slender stem, the plant is most likely to be found in water.

So, the correct answer is “Option A”.

Note:
Habitats are subject to change over time. A violent event (such as a volcano eruption, an earthquake, a tsunami, a wildfire, or a change in oceanic currents) may cause change or change may occur more gradually over millennia as ice sheets and glaciers advance and retreat, and as different weather patterns bring changes in precipitation and solar radiation.
