B Wildfires because they often move across areas very slowly and can be easily managed to prevent spread.Wildfires because they often move across areas very slowly and can be easily managed to prevent spread.
C Tornadoes because they can be seen from the ground and generally move in very predictable patterns.Tornadoes because they can be seen from the ground and generally move in very predictable patterns.
D Land subsidence and sinkholes because it is easy to tell when and where they are likely to occur.

The easiest natural hazard to detect and alert the public in advance among the options given is:
**A. Hurricanes because they can often be seen from satellite images as they form and move towards land.**
Hurricanes are monitored through advanced meteorological technologies such as satellite imagery, weather radar, and meteorological models, which allow for timely warnings and predictions of their paths and intensities. In contrast, wildfires can be harder to predict in terms of when and where they will start, tornadoes form rapidly and are less predictable, and land subsidence/sinkholes often occur without warning and are difficult to detect in advance.
