Which of the following statements is false?

  1. Mangroves maintain biodiversity.

  2. Mangroves provide mangoes.

  3. Mangroves prevent flooding.

  4. Mangroves are being destroyed due to urbanization.

Show answer & explanation

Answer: (B) Mangroves provide mangoes.

Mangroves are salt-tolerant trees and shrubs of coastal and estuarine areas. They support biodiversity, protect coasts from floods, storm surges and erosion, and are being lost to urbanisation. They are not mango trees and do not provide mangoes, so that statement is false.
