A Nurse Is Speaking at a City Council Meeting in a Coastal

A nurse is speaking at a city council meeting in a coastal town on the northeastern coast of the United States. The nurse is explaining that in order to protect the rest of the town, the city council needs to restrict people from building homes along the immediate coastline. A resident stands up, angry, and demands to know why he can't purchase property there. The nurse replies:

A) "People living along the coastline are at greater risk for property damage from seawater."
B) "Deforestation along the coast can increase risk and severity of strong storm surges during hurricanes or coastal storms."
C) "Remote areas can be more difficult to evacuate in case of an emergency."
D) "All community members need to be able to access the coastline in case of an emergency evacuation."
