In what zone is the ability to burrow and sustain changes in temperature and salinity important for an organisms' survival?

A. Supralittoral zone

B. Sublittoral zone

C. High intertidal zone

D. Low intertidal zone

The correct answer is option C. "High intertidal zone".

Explanation:

The intertidal zone is the area at which the ocean meets the land, known for being in constant change due to the movement of the tides. Among the areas that comprise the intertidal zone, the high intertidal zone is the most challenging for life because it remains dry between high tides. The organisms living in the high intertidal zone have the ability to burrow and sustain changes in temperature and salinity. The organisms living in this area include: barnacles, marine snails, mussels, hermit crabs, among others.
