Answer:
The correct answer is A)
To limit the potential flooding damage that could result if an earthquake happens and the dam spills over
Explanation:
According to the text, seismic risks are very high for dams in that region. One of the reasons is that some of the dams were built many years ago when civil engineers didn't have information about what an earthquake could do to dams.
Citing an occurrence that happened in 1899 as an example where thousands of people were killed as a result of a failed dam, it is feared that should same reoccur, the loss may be more because about 300,000 people occupy the flood zone along the Alameda Creek below the dam.

The factor that does not help determine whether a volcanic eruption will be explosive or relatively quiet is the composition of the lava.
On the other hand, the composition of the magma, the temperature of the magma, and the amount of dissolved gases in the magma are quite important for determining this.
Actively dividing eukaryote cells pass through a series of stages known collectively as the cell cycle: two gap phases (G1 and G2); an S (for synthesis) phase, in which the genetic material is duplicated; and an M phase, in which mitosis partitions the genetic material and the cell divides.

G1 phase. Metabolic changes prepare the cell for division. At a certain point - the restriction point - the cell is committed to division and moves into the S phase.</span><span>
S phase. DNA synthesis replicates the genetic material. Each chromosome now consists of two sister chromatids.</span><span>
G2 phase. Metabolic changes assemble the cytoplasmic materials necessary for mitosis and cytokinesis.</span><span>
M phase. A nuclear division (mitosis) followed by a cell division (cytokinesis).</span></span>
The period between mitotic divisions - that is, G1, S and G2 - is known as interphase.
<span>Mitosis is a form of eukaryotic cell division that produces two daughter cells with the same genetic component as the parent cell. Chromosomes replicated during the S phase are divided in such a way as to ensure that each daughter cell receives a copy of every chromosome. In actively dividing animal cells, the whole process takes about one hour.</span>
