BDevelopment approvals can be withheld unless public infrastructure has sufficient capacity to serve the new development✓ Correct
CAll public buildings must meet ADA standards
DThe government must provide adequate housing for displaced persons

Explanation

Adequate public facilities requirements (concurrency requirements) condition development approvals on the availability of sufficient public infrastructure — roads, schools, water, sewer — to serve the new development. This manages growth and prevents infrastructure overload.
