Explanation

Floods and wildfires are both natural hazards in Florida, and either can affect coastal or inland areas. Thunderstorms can cause flooding through heavy rain and can start wildfires when lightning ignites dry vegetation. Both hazards can destroy property. Drought can contribute to wildfires, but it does not cause floods, so C is not correct.
