Please select the best answer from the choices provided

A
B
C
D

We do not know for sure that the Earthquake in Chile was more destructive because the account with Haiti informed using stories and first-hand accounts while the one about Chile used data. We don't have first hand accounts from Chile and we don't have data from Haiti, so we cannot draw a conclusion about which one had more damage, which one will cost more to repair, etc.

We also see that many people died and were injured ("A massive earthquake has hit central Chile and killed at least 214 people", a lot of car damage, a lot of people without help, people bleeding.") , cars were damaged, and more. This demonstrates that damage was not limited to buildings and infrastructure in both locations.

We can conclude that C. both countries suffered damage to infrastructure and modes of communication, losing phone lines, electricity, and cable.
