Until the Federal government began providing low-cost flood insurance to coastal property owners, construction along beaches was limited by owners' fears that their property would be washed away. Since the insurance was made available, however, beachfront construction has boomed and land erosion has increased at a dangerous rate.
Which of the following, if feasible, offers the best prospects for the Federal government to put a stop to the problem of land erosion along beaches?
A. prohibiting beachfront property owners from embellishing or adding to existing buildings
B. utilizing computer science techniques to obtain detailed information on the extent and rapidity of land erosion along beaches
C. enacting building codes requiring new beachfront structures in flood-threatened areas to be elevated above the high water level of a storm
D. compensating beachfront property owners for moving to a new location off the coast while canceling flood insurance benefits for any new or remaining beachfront construction
E. requiring beachfront property owners receiving flood insurance coverage to adopt construction standards that will protect their buildings from inundation.
[spoiler]OA is D , but somehow i would like to favour E as D is too extreme... any cues..why i am wrong?[/spoiler]
