If the same environmental event destroys some sites but others survive, what can be understood?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: There were differences in site location, construction and capacity to adapt to the environment
The governing concept is uneven environmental impact shaped by local geography and human adaptation. A flood, river shift, or drought does not affect every settlement identically: elevation, drainage, building strength, stored resources, and adaptive practices can change outcomes. Thus option C is correct. Option A denies the evidence, B contradicts the different results, and D assumes age alone explains survival without proof.
