Answer 1

C) less city workers to plow the streets causing an increase in the number of car accidents during the winter months.

Step-by-step explanation:

Bad economic conditions lower the cities' revenues, which puts them under financial stress, and the usual results are less investment projects and less municipal workers who perform maintenance tasks. Less investment + less maintenance workers leads to more infrastructure problems = bad roads. Bad roads increase the total number of car accidents and injured people.
