C) Why estuaries will disappear

An estuary is a partly enclosed coastal body of water with one or more rivers or streams flowing into it, and with a free connection to the open sea. Estuaries are amongst the most heavily populated areas throughout the world, with about 60% of the world’s population living along estuaries and the coast. As a result, estuaries are suffering degradation by many factors, including overgrazing and other poor farming practices; overfishing; drainage and filling of wetlands; pollutants from sewage inputs; and diking or damming for flood control or water diversion.

CORRECT ANSWER FROM SIMON:

B

- After "as a result" you can read a list of things that are affecting estuaries. Every factor in the list is related to human activity.

- There is nothing about the effect that estuaries have on the environment, and there is nothing about estuaries disappearing completely.
