SFHA stands for Special Flood Hazard Area and this represents an area that is at high risk for flooding. The other options, B, C, and D, all contain similar terms but do not accurately represent the standard term used to describe areas at risk for flooding. "Handling" or "Severe" may refer to specific actions taken in response to a flood, but do not accurately indicate the risk level of the area. "Special" and "Hazard" are key terms used in the acronym SFHA to indicate the unique and high level of risk for flooding in these areas.
