<u>Answer:</u>
<em>The intertidal zone is a region of extreme conditions and the organisms should have special mechanisms to cope up with the extreme conditions.
</em>
<u>Explanation:</u>
Low tides expose an intertidal zone to air while high tides cover the intertidal zone with ocean water. When exposed to air the intertidal region is <em>directly exposed to the sun and there will be high temperature. </em>
Thus the animals have to cope up with the extreme heat and also have to face colder environment when under the sea. <em>Since there is change in salinity the organisms have to handle this as well.</em>
Some animals with shells close their shell tightly to seal moisture. Animals like <em>snails and crabs have thick outer covering to prevent water loss by evaporation. </em>
Organisms like leaf barnacles cluster together to avoid individual exposure. <em>Animals like sea stars cling to the rocks to avoid being washed away by the waves.

Answer:
D)Lycophyta
Explanation:
The seedless vascular plants or the pteridophyte forms one phylum of the plant kingdom. The pteridophyte kingdom can be classified into three groups: the Sphenophytes, the pteridophytes and the Lycophytes.
The Lycophyte group contains about 1000 living species as it is the most primitive group of vascular plants.
The species is characterised by the presence of the microphyll like the Selaginella and Lycopodium.
The rhizoids of the gametophyte of these plants form the mycorrhizal association with the fungi.
Thus, Option-D is the correct answer.
One is probably because your friend has a stronger immune system than you and is able t fight the bacteria infection. The other is probably that your friend is also infected but does not show any symptoms of the infection, in what is referred to as latent infection. The bacteria enters a lysogenic cycle in your friend’s body rather than the more virulent lytic cycle (that happens to you).
