In a new environment that experiences more frequent flooding, the species most likely to increase in numbers would be **a tree species that is tolerant of excess water**. This is because such a tree species would be well-adapted to thrive in the flooded conditions, while the other species listed may either struggle to survive or have less advantageous adaptations for dealing with increased water levels.
