The correct answer is A.Tsunami.

Tsunamis are the natural disaster most directly linked to the destruction of coastal ecosystems like coral reefs and mangrove forests. These large waves, usually triggered by underwater earthquakes, can cause significant physical damage to these habitats. The force of the water can break coral reefs, uproot mangrove trees, and erode coastlines, leading to long-term ecological disruption.

Other natural disasters have less direct impacts on coastal ecosystems:

B.Earthquakes may trigger tsunamis but are not typically the direct cause of coastal ecosyste...
