Question

a country has communities on the beach that get hit with high levels of water from the ocean during a severe storm. it wants to protect homes and ecosystems in the area. the country is including future solutions in its national climate plan. which of the following is the best option for this issue?
creating flood - resistant coastlines
increasing forests and vegetation
helping with species survival
increasing renewable energy

Explanation:

The problem is about protecting beach communities from ocean - water flooding during storms. Creating flood - resistant coastlines directly addresses coastal flooding. Increasing forests/vegetation (more for inland erosion/rain - related issues), helping species survival (broader ecological but not flood - specific), and increasing renewable energy (climate - related but not flood - protection for this context) are less relevant.

Answer:

Creating flood - resistant coastlines
