What is a 1% Annual Chance Flood also known as?

  1. Minor Flood

Option A, Minor Flood, is incorrect because a 1% Annual Chance Flood is not considered minor. Option C, Annual Flood, is incorrect because an Annual Flood can occur more frequently than a 1% Annual Chance Flood. Option D, Critical Flood, is incorrect because a 1% Annual Chance Flood is not necessarily considered critical.
