which of the following biomes is best characterized as an area that forms the narrow band along the coast that experiences a range of environmental conditions (including daily changes in sunlight, temperature, and water)?
a open ocean
b lakes
c coral reefs
d intertidal zones

Explanation:

• Open ocean: It is a vast area, not a narrow band along the coast.
• Lakes: They are inland water bodies, not along the coast.
• Coral reefs: They are underwater structures, not a narrow band along the coast experiencing daily changes in sunlight, temperature, and water.
• Intertidal zones: These are the narrow bands along the coast that are exposed to air at low tide and submerged at high tide, experiencing daily changes in sunlight, temperature, and water.

Answer:

D. Intertidal zones
