Answer:

<h2>Base isolated system</h2>

Explanation:

Fixed based system:-

A fixed-base building (built directly on the ground) will move with an earthquake’s motion and can sustain extensive damage as a result.

Base isolated system:-

A base isolation system is a method of seismic protection where the structure (superstructure) is separated from the base (foundation or substructure).

Hence,

A base isolated system is much more better in a area where there are a lot of earthquakes.
