Read the following scenario and answer the questions below.
Northeast of Australia and northwest of Fiji lies the isolated tropical island of Tikopia.

It has a two-month dry season every year and lies in the Pacific's cyclone belt, which destroys homes and gardens on an unpredictable but regular basis. Tikopia is too far away from other islands to have any regular contact; the islanders must be self-sufficient.

A) maintain a sustainable society over a long period of time
B) organize an educated community
C) use technology to increase population size
