Which of the following is a characteristic of shaded Zone X on FIRMs?

Equivalent to Zone B
Corresponds to high-risk flood areas
Designates areas needing mandatory flood insurance
Indicates zones with minimal flood risk

The correct answer is: Equivalent to Zone B

Zone X on a FIRMs (Flood Insurance Rate Maps) is designated as a special flood hazard area where flood insurance may be required. Zone X is a shaded zone that has moderate flood risk. This means that the other options must be incorrect. Option B is incorrect because high-risk flood areas are designated as Zone A or Zone V on FIRMs, not Zone X. Option C is incorrect because mandatory flood insurance is required for Zone A, Zone AE, Zone AH, Zone AO, and Zone A99, not Zone X. Option D is incorrect because minimal flood risk areas are designated as Zone C, Zone X500, or Zone B on FIRMs, not Zone X.
