Mangroves and cactus both show special adaptations, but how is their environmental pressure different?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Mangroves adapt to saline waterlogging and cactus to water shortage

Plants develop adaptations according to the main difficulty in their surroundings. Mangroves grow near coasts, estuaries and tidal wetlands, where the soil may be waterlogged and salty and may contain little oxygen. Cactus plants usually grow in dry regions, where rainfall is low and water is difficult to obtain. Their special structures therefore solve different environmental problems.

Option A is correct because it matches each plant with its pressure: mangroves cope with saline waterlogging, while cactus copes with water shortage. A cactus may store water and reduce water loss, whereas mangroves have features that help them live in salty, muddy places. Snowfall, extreme cold and identical environments do not describe both plants. The best method is to connect habitat, pressure and adaptation.
