Answer:

C. Method 2 is more practical than Method 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Florida has a very bad location when it comes to hurricanes, as the state is located right on the most affected peninsula by these natural occurrences. The state has undertaken multiple different methods in order to lower the damages done by the hurricanes, and while some are practical and easy, others are not. The improvement of the hurricane prediction models are very practical and very useful, so their implementation is not a problem. On the other hand, we have the method of reducing the coastal population. This means moving the population from the coast to the interior of the state. This is very impractical, and most of the people are not willing to move in the interior of Florida, as its interior is not well developed, and the climate is much less bearable to the people.
