The correct answer is C) Coastal homes are elevated on stilts where hurricanes are common.

Explanation:

Throughout history, we have seen examples of how the way people live has been affected by the environment of their local region.

One of the most popular examples is that of the igloo used by native tribes of the Arctic people.

The option A is incorrect, because we can see the example of Japan. A country prone to frequent earthquakes. They have built strong, yet flexible buildings that move with the earthquake causing very low chances of damage.

Similarly, coastal homes are prone to hurricanes and are usually built on elevated stilts for protection.
