Answer 2

The one that exemplifies the impact of the environment on people's lives would be:

C). Coastal homes are elevated on stilts where hurricanes are common.

• The description regarding the structure of homes in coastal regions i.e. "elevated on stilts" demonstrates the influence that the environment directly causes on people living there.
• The stilts help the houses to remain safe from the water brought by floods in these regions.
• These structures differ in the structure of houses of the people living in the hilly or desert region because the climate and vegetation vary.

Thus, option C is the correct answer.
