Explanation:

2nd statement is incorrect i.e. Mangrove vegetation has developed highly specialized adaptations like controlling transpiration as well as leave orientation to conserve water

Mangroves are trees or large shrubs which grow within the intertidal zone in tropical and subtropical regions and have special adaptations to survive in this environment. Mangrove is in fact a general name for several species of plant which can survive in saline environments. The adaptation has arisen in a number of different families of plants, therefore the general description of mangrove can be applied to a number of different trees, shrubs and even a palm tree and a ground fern.
