Respuesta :

Answer: C.) Depleting the variety of species living in the mangrove nursery areas.

Explanation:

A hurricane is a storm that is also called as tropical cyclone, it forms over the water of subtropical and tropical waters.

The hurricane would destroy the large areas of the mangrove canopy this means it is largely affecting the tree species of the region. As mangrove trees supports the growth and abundance of associated faunal species like fishes, tree squirrels and others. When these trees are destroyed the faunal species will be affected. Hence, the variety of species in the mangrove nursery will deplete.
