Respuesta :

The correct option is this: METHOD 2 CAUSES LESS DAMAGE TO THE ENVIRONMENT THAN METHOD 1.
Constructing a flood control dam will affect the environment more negatively compare to creating flood plains and winding streams. Creating a dam will cut off water from some of the areas and this will have negative effects on the animals and the plants that are found in that area.
