Strategically locating functional and decorative hardscape on a project site may reduce the amount of on-site

Answer options

• A. waste area
• B. sensitive area
• C. pervious area
• D. impervious area

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, as strategically placing hardscape can help limit impervious surfaces, which do not allow water to pass through. Options A, B, and C are incorrect because while waste and sensitive areas pertain to environmental concerns, and pervious areas relate to water absorption, they do not specifically address the reduction of impervious surfaces.
