A region experiences frequent earthquakes that result in property damage. Engineers are designing a buikling for the region that can better withstand the effects of earthquakes. Which is an essential feature that the engineers shoukd include in their buikling design? O The building should be large to stop earthquake waves when they approach. O The building should be tall to withstand ground shaking for a long period of time. O The building should be flexible to move when the ground shakes to absortb energy O The building should be built with a deep foundation to help redirect earthquake waves.
