What does Development refer to in CFR 59.1 context?

The natural evolution of a floodplain
Changes to real estate including construction and excavation
Surveying land for construction potential
The growth of vegetation in flood-prone areas

The correct answer is: Changes to real estate including construction and excavation

Real estate development can involve a wide range of activities, such as constructing buildings, excavating land, and making improvements to existing properties. In CFR 59.1, "development" specifically refers to changes made to real estate, rather than the natural evolution of a floodplain (A), surveying land (C), or vegetation growth (D). While these factors may be important considerations for real estate development, they are not the primary focus in this context.
