AIncrease property values in all cases
BGenerate odors, airborne particulates, and potential water contamination affecting nearby properties✓ Correct
COnly affect commercial properties
DProvide tax benefits for neighboring landowners

Explanation

CAFOs (large-scale livestock operations) can generate significant odors, airborne particulates (including hydrogen sulfide), and potential water quality impacts from manure lagoons. These factors can materially affect the desirability and value of nearby residential and agricultural properties.
