Which area is considered a floodplain?

Only areas along coasts
Land areas near water bodies prone to flooding
Areas designated by local government
Regions with high rainfall

The correct answer is: Land areas near water bodies prone to flooding

A Although areas along coasts can be prone to flooding, it is not necessarily true that all coastlines are included in a floodplain. In some cases, the topography or infrastructure may prevent flooding from occurring. B: This is the correct answer because areas near water bodies are typically at risk for flooding due to their proximity to the water source. C: While some local governments may designate areas as floodplains, this does not mean that all areas designated by local government are considered floodplains. D: While regions with high rainfall may experience flooding, not all of these regions are necessarily considered floodplains. Other factors, such as topography and land use, also play a role in determining floodplain areas.
