The statement that correctly identifies a technological innovation after the Galveston hurricane of 1900 is:
"a 16-foot increase in the slant of the city that lifted it above sea level, limiting future flooding and improving floodwater drainage to the coast."
This statement refers to the significant elevation project undertaken in Galveston after the hurricane to raise the city above sea level, which was a critical development for managing future flooding risks.
