Answer 1

In a changing environment where flooding occurs more often, the species that would most likely increase in numbers is:

a tree species that is tolerant of excess water.

This is because such a tree species would be better adapted to survive and thrive in conditions where water levels are often high, allowing them to outcompete other species that are more sensitive to excess moisture.
