Answer 1

I feel like the answer to your question is B

Answer 2

A development that would lead to flood frequencies decreasing in the cities would be A . Using new, more permeable materials for roads and sidewalks

Using materials that are more permeable for roads and sidewalks:

• Ensures that water can be gathered in one place
• Ensures that water can dissolve into the ground with more ease

If roads and sidewalks with permeable materials were built, there will be less flooding as a high amount of the water would simply go into the ground.

In conclusion, we can reduce flooding by building sidewalks and roads with material that is permeable.
