  2. Option B:
    heat island effects
  3. Option C:
    rainwater infiltration
  4. Option D:
    parking space requirements
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: B

Open grid pavement, also known as permeable pavement, allows water to drain through it, reducing runoff and recharging groundwater supplies. It also tends to be lighter in color than traditional asphalt, which means it absorbs less heat from sunlight. This helps to reduce the urban heat island effect, which is a phenomenon where urban areas are significantly warmer than their rural surroundings due to human activities.
