The feature that most directly helps to conclude that the area you encountered is a swamp is:
**B) It contains a variety of trees and shrubs.**
Swamps are characterized by the presence of woody plants, such as trees and shrubs, and typically have standing water or saturated soil. While carnivorous plants (option C) may also be present in swamps, the presence of a variety of trees and shrubs is a more definitive characteristic of swamps.
