D. Salt wedge estuary
Explanation:
The Chesapeake Bay is the largest estuary in the United States. The Bay is located in the Mid-Atlantic region and is primarily separated from the Atlantic Ocean by the Delmarva Peninsula with its mouth of the Bay at the south end located between Cape Henry and Cape Charles. With its northern portion in Maryland and the southern part in Virginia, the Chesapeake Bay is a very important feature for the ecology and economy of those two states, as well as others surrounding within its watershed. More than 150 major rivers and streams flow into the Bay's 64,299-square-mile drainage basin, which covers parts of six states and all of Washington, D.C. / District of Columbia.

Answer: (A), (B), (C) and (E)
Explanation:
- Coral reefs are found in the oceans formed by the accumulation of the skeletal remains of the invertebrates. They are found under water.
- Cold seeps refers to those area where the gases such as methane, hydrogen sulfide comes out through the vent, under water.
- Hydrothermal vents are the places where the hot intruding magma reacts with the sea water producing a vent.
- Rocky intertidal zone refers to the zone between a high and a low tidal mark.
Thus under the ocean, the structures such as coral reefs, cold seeps and hydrothermal vents forms where the tide is not so high and not so low.
Kelp forest is the odd one, that refers to those brown colored seaweeds, having high nutrients in salt water.
Power is a function of voltage times the volume of electrons (current). Power is the ability to do work and is measured in Watts. The higher the voltage the more power you have with the same current.
