Accepted Answer

Introduction / Context:The problem is an electrical short-circuit leading to a market fire. Logical action should directly mitigate electrical risk; mass relocation is disproportionate and unrelated to the root cause. Given Data / Assumptions: Trigger: Faulty/overloaded electrical systems. Objective: Reduce fire risk and improve compliance. Tools: Codes, inspections, retrofits, enforcement. Concept / Approach:Targeted safety regulation and audits are proportionate and relevant. City-wide relocation is disruptive, costly, and does not inherently improve electrical safety. Step-by-Step Solution: 1) I: Mandating standards, periodic checks, and penalties addresses the cause.2) II: Relocation ignores that fires can occur anywhere without proper compliance; not logically necessary.3) Only I follows. Verification / Alternative check:Electrical Safety Certificates, load audits, fire drills, and early warning systems are standard remedies. Why Other Options Are Wrong: • II / Either / Both: II is unjustified.• Neither: Ignores the clear need for safety reforms. Common Pitfalls:Assuming location change equals risk reduction. Final Answer:Only I follows.
