Explanation:

To determine the state with the lowest earthquake risk, we analyze the tectonic activity of each option:

• Nevada and California are in seismically active regions (e.g., the San Andreas Fault system), so they have higher earthquake risk.
• South Carolina has a history of significant earthquakes (e.g., the 1886 Charleston earthquake) and is in a seismically active zone.
• Florida is located in a region with relatively little tectonic activity and is not near major fault lines, resulting in the lowest earthquake risk among the given options.
