Both A & C are correct

Grey infrastructure is always more cost-effective over the

project lifecycle

Green infrastructure cannot provide any measurable wave

attenuation

Grey infrastructure uses hard structures to block wave and

erosion forces directly; green infrastructure uses ecosystem processes to

absorb and dissipate energy

Grey infrastructure mimics natural hydrological processes;

green infrastructure relies on concrete and steel

Involves local communities, government agencies,

and the private sector in decision-making

Coordinates development of water, land, and

related resources to maximize welfare

Applies iterative planning through assessment,

implementation, and monitoring cycles. E) All of the above are correct.

Treats the entire watershed as a single

interconnected unit.

     All above are correct .

Focused only biodiversity concerns without

regard to flood management

Replacing

all engineered systems with purely natural ecosystems

Focusing exclusively on above-ground stormwater

conveyance through open channels.

.      

Combining natural and engineered systems to

tackle environmental, social, and economic issues.

Carbon stored in coastal and marine ecosystems,

which act as natural carbon sinks.

Carbon captured through artificial ocean

alkalinity enhancement.

Relevant only to deep-ocean ecosystems and has

no application in coastal areas.

       carbon emitted by marine shipping vessels

Ecosystems store carbon only in terrestrial plant

tissue and release it within months.

Oxbow lakes form when tributaries merge with the

main river channel

Rivers meander only in flat coastal plains and

never in mountainous terrain

Slower water on the outside of bends erodes

soil, while faster water on the inside washes away sediment

Helicoidal

flow moves sediment from the inner bank to the outer bank, straightening the

channel

Faster water on the outside of bends erodes soil

while slower water on the inside deposits sediment

Living shorelines are temporary installations

removed after each hurricane/cyclone season.

     None of the above is correct.

Living

shorelines only function in tropical climates and cannot be applied in

temperate zones.

Living shorelines rely solely on concrete

seawalls for coastal protection.

Living shorelines use natural elements like

marsh grasses, oyster reefs, and rock sills to reduce erosion, absorb flood

waters, and restore habitats.

Increase tidal wave, which reduces storm surge inundation

depth

Coral reefs decrease marine biodiversity and are not a

habitat for marine species

Act as natural breakwaters by absorbing wave energy before

it reaches the shoreline

       Eliminate the need for integrated coastal zone management

Generate sand that fills engineered groynes before it

reaches the shoreline

Natural seaweeds deplete

dissolved oxygen in the ocean and therefore damage the blue economy by killing

fish stocks.

.      

Seaweed is only useful

as decorative aquarium plants and has no economic or ecological significance.

Seaweeds support

sustainable livelihoods, enhance marine biodiversity, sequester carbon, protect

coastlines, and provide food, fertilizer, and bioenergy products.

Seaweed farming is

purely a land-based agricultural activity with no connection to marine

ecosystems or carbon cycling.

Seaweed farming only

benefits deep-ocean ecosystems and has no relevance to coastal communities or

urban blue-green infrastructure.

Economic Development.

Social inclusion

       Environmental Protection.
