Answer: (a) resort at an elevation of 5294 feet above sea level that is 10 feet in elevation above the nearby South Fork American River.
Resort at an elevation of 5294 feet above sea level that is 10 feet in elevation above the nearby South Fork American River is more likely to be endangered by a flood. This is because of the elevation of this area is very close to American river so there is high chance to submerge this area by river flood
