Answer 1

In an 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 species are adapted to thrive in wetter conditions and can withstand the challenges posed by frequent flooding. The other species listed may struggle with the increased water levels, either due to habitat loss or inability to cope with the new environmental conditions.
