What characterizes Approximate Studies for flood hazard mapping?

Approximate methods showing the outline of the base floodplain without BFE.

The correct answer is: Approximate methods showing the outline of the base floodplain without BFE.

Approximate studies for flood hazard mapping are characterized by using general methods that provide an overall view of the base floodplain without providing exact details such as the Base Flood Elevations. Option A is incorrect because detailed methods producing Base Flood Elevations are associated with more accurate or detailed flood hazard mapping. Option C is incorrect because these studies do not exclude areas with accredited levees. And option D is incorrect because these studies are not limited to mapping for zones where federal flood protection is in progress, they can also be used for areas without such protection.
