What defines a 'Community' in the context of the NFIP?

Any group of people living in the same area
A political entity with authority to adopt floodplain ordinances
A group of volunteers helping in flood-prone areas
Homeowners' associations responsible for local governance

The correct answer is: A political entity with authority to adopt floodplain ordinances

A 'Community' in the context of the NFIP is defined as a political entity with authority to adopt floodplain ordinances. This means that the community must have the legal power and responsibility to create and enforce regulations related to floodplains. Option A is too broad and does not specify if a group of people living in the same area must have any sort of legal authority. Option C may be a part of a community, but it does not encompass the entire definition. Option D is also too narrow and only applies to certain types of communities. Ultimately, the most accurate choice is B as it specifically mentions the key requirement of political authority.
