The correct ranking of the cities in order of earthquake risk from high risk to low risk is:
C. San Francisco, CA, Little Rock, AR, Miami, FL, New Orleans, LA
San Francisco has a high risk of earthquakes due to its location along the San Andreas Fault. Little Rock has a lower risk as it is located in a region that is not as seismically active. Miami and New Orleans are both at an even lower risk compared to the other cities listed, with Miami experiencing virtually no significant earthquake activity and New Orleans having a very low risk as well.
