What is included in the Base Floodplain?

Only the water-covered areas during a flood
Land areas only
Areas of land and water inundated by the base flood
Protected areas only

The correct answer is: Areas of land and water inundated by the base flood

The Base Floodplain includes both areas of land and water that are inundated by the base flood. This means that during a flood, the Base Floodplain will include both water-covered areas and the surrounding land that is affected by the flood. Option A is incorrect because it only includes the water-covered areas and does not consider the land that is also impacted. Option B is incorrect because it only includes land areas and does not take into account the water inundation. Option D is incorrect because it only includes protected areas, which may or may not be the same as the Base Floodplain. Therefore, option C is the most comprehensive and accurate answer.
