This is the ocean shore between the lowest low tide and the highest high tide.
A
estuary
B
intermoon zone
C
shore erosion
D
intertidal zone
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -On the shore between high and low tide lies the intertidal zone, where land and sea meet. The intertidal zone is underwater during high tide and exposed to air during low tide. The animals and plants that live in this zone must cope with being submerged in water and exposed to the air during different times of day.

Detailed explanation-2: -The intertidal zone is the area where the ocean meets the land between high and low tides. A tide pool within Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary. Intertidal zones exist anywhere the ocean meets the land, from steep, rocky ledges to long, sloping sandy beaches and mudflats that can extend for hundreds of meters.

Detailed explanation-3: -The intertidal zone can be further divided into three zones: high tide, middle tide, and low tide. The high tide zone is only submerged at high tide and is hotter and drier as a result. The middle tide zone is submerged and exposed for equal amounts of time.

Detailed explanation-4: -The intertidal zone (sometimes referred to as the littoral zone) is the area that is exposed to the air at low tide and underwater at high tide (the area between the low and high tide lines). This area can include many different types of habitats, including steep rocky cliffs, sandy beaches, or wetlands.

Detailed explanation-5: -The intertidal zone is defined as the area between the high tide and low tide mark. Organisms that live in this zone have to deal with difficult environmental conditions, being both submerged in sea water and exposed to the air.
