What does B Zone indicate in flood hazard terms?

  1. Area of highest flood hazard

  2. Area with no flood hazard

  3. Area of moderate flood hazard

  4. Only areas protected by levees

The correct answer is: Area of moderate flood hazard

The correct answer is actually C, not B. B Zone does not refer to an area with no flood hazard, but rather an area of moderate flood hazard. Zones with a higher flood hazard are labeled A or V, while D refers to an area protected by levees. Therefore, B Zone is not the most accurate description of areas with no flood hazard. It's important to remember that all areas have some level of flood risk, and B Zone simply refers to an area with a moderate level of risk.
