coastal areas are often the first ————— to experience the detrimental impacts of tourism.
environments
choice
attraction

Explanation:

Coastal areas are ecosystems. Tourism can lead to pollution (e.g., litter, sewage), habitat destruction (e.g., construction of resorts), and over - exploitation of natural resources (e.g., overfishing due to increased demand from tourists). These are all environmental impacts. "Choice" is too vague in this context as it does not specifically relate to the nature of coastal areas. "Attraction" is more about a feature that draws tourists (like a beach as an attraction), but the sentence is about the entity (coastal area as an environment) that is affected.

Answer:

Environments
