The answer is either A or B. Acid rain and Pollution is not helpful to the enviorment, so that is NOT the answer. I am leaning towards B because asphalt cannot absorb water. Let someone who knows for sure answer, but I believe it is B.

OpenStudy (leonardo0430):

B seems the most logical

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@AnimeWover I guess you should go with B! Thank you @leonardo0430 :)

OpenStudy (leonardo0430):

anytime :)

OpenStudy (prince1342):

A would seem correct. Building those causes runoff

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Prince1342 But it says "....by preventing what" so these are preventing something, not causing. :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So B is the most logical answer as it prevents absorbtion.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

*absorption

OpenStudy (leonardo0430):

to make it simple~ concrete covers soil, water wont be able to enter the soil

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you. That was what I was trying to do lol

OpenStudy (prince1342):

@DIDITHEDAD Oh just noticed, then yep it is B for sure
