The barrier islands of Georgia are low, sandy islands that form off the coastline and protect the mainland; however, they can be a risky place to reside or develop. If a builder wanted to construct a mall on one of these islands, which of the following questions would be the most significant concern for him to consider?

A.
Where would be the best place to build the mall so that it is protected from the impact of storms which causes the winds and waves to constantly redistribute the sand?

B.
Since the islands are constantly changing, what location would offer the best access to sand resources to aid in the construction of the mall?

C.
Before construction begins, should large amounts of sand be removed from the island first in order to prevent erosion of the beach?

D.
If an earthquake were to occur, would the islands sink below sea level, causing a huge tidal wave to crash on the mainland?
