Explanation:

• Option A: A sudden increase in crime rate in a neighborhood affects the safety and well - being of the entire community. Community action such as forming neighborhood watch groups, working with local law enforcement, or organizing community safety initiatives can be effective in addressing this issue. Crime rate increase and the resulting sense of unease is a community - wide problem that benefits from collective community efforts.
• Option B: Peter's smoking is an individual behavior. While peer influence is a factor, solving his regret about smoking is more of an individual - level issue, like seeking personal support or using smoking - cessation methods, rather than a community - action - solvable problem.
• Option C: Rebecca's need for immunizations for travel is an individual - specific task. She can solve it by researching or consulting healthcare providers on her own, and it does not require community action.

Answer:

A. There has been a sudden increase in the crime rate in Hannah's neighborhood, and she feels unsafe.
