NIMBY stands for "Not In My Backyard" and refers to the attitude of opposing the placement of certain facilities or services (such as transitional facilities) in one's own community or immediate vicinity. The fact that there is only one transitional facility in Beth's county, and it is located twenty miles away from her hometown, suggests that there may have been resistance to establishing such a facility closer to where people live. Therefore, the attitude in her county is likely one of NIMBY. The other answer choices (NIMFY, MINFB, BIMVY) are not actual terms or concepts and are not relevant to the scenario.
