Which pattern best explains how the hurricane's impact differed between regions dominated by human infrastructure and regions dominated by natural wetlands?

Human infrastructure such as homes, roads, and businesses is vulnerable to hurricane winds and flooding, so built-up areas tend to suffer greater property damage. Natural wetlands can also be damaged, but they are ecosystems, so the impact is more ecological than property-related. Thus, the best pattern is greater property damage in infrastructure-dominated areas and greater ecological disruption in wetland-dominated areas: choice D.
