B Management of resources to prevent pollution of the nearby beaches.Management of resources to prevent pollution of the nearby beaches.
C Management of stormwater runoff to prevent flooding and water quality concerns.Management of stormwater runoff to prevent flooding and water quality concerns.
D Discovering ways to make paved areas less impervious to groundwater accumulations.Discovering ways to make paved areas less impervious to groundwater accumulations.
Question 2
Urbanization is the development of land, which includes replacing natural land with parking lots and buildings. Community members are discussing ways to avoid the consequences associated with urbanization in their coastal community. They came up with a checklist of strategies they could consider as they plan for future development. The checklist includes the suggestions listed here EXCEPT

For the first question regarding the biggest concern of community members in the context of the proposed project, the most appropriate response would likely be:
**B** Management of resources to prevent pollution of the nearby beaches.
This reflects a concern that directly impacts the community's environment and quality of life, especially important in a coastal area.
For the second question regarding the checklist of strategies to avoid the consequences of urbanization, the suggestion that does not fit with the others would be:
**D** Widen the roads around the community to allow a greater traffic flow for cars, trucks, and buses.
This option contradicts the goal of reducing the impacts of urbanization, as widening roads would typically increase dependence on cars and could lead to more habitat removal and less pedestrian-friendly spaces.
**B** Management of resources to prevent pollution of the nearby beaches.
This reflects a concern that directly impacts the community's environment and quality of life, especially important in a coastal area.
