The answer would be B.) Swamps are deeper and have a larger proportion of surface water than marshes, and bogs have acidic groundwater.

Answer: b. Swamps are deeper and have a larger proportion of surface water than marshes, and bogs have acidic groundwater.

Explanation:

Swamps, bogs and marshes are the shallow water wetlands. Swamps are typically more deeper than marshes and bogs. They usually develop from the marshes. The bogs are generally characterized by poor soil content and  they are the sources of groundwater which is acidic in nature. The marshes are nutrient rich wetlands which supports the diversity of grasses and reeds  but as the swamps exhibit more shallower water they promote the growth of woody plants.
