What does Zone AE represent?

A Zones except coastal V zones
Numbered A Zones where base flood elevation is provided
SFHA where base flood elevations are provided, now replacing A# Zones on new FIRM
The Special Flood Hazard Area without a provided base flood elevation

The correct answer is: SFHA where base flood elevations are provided, now replacing A# Zones on new FIRM

Zone AE represents the SFHA (Special Flood Hazard Area) where base flood elevations are provided, replacing the older A numbered zones on new FIRM (Flood Insurance Rate Map). A Zones except coastal V Zones (option A) do not include the base flood elevation, and numbered A Zones (option B) only have the base flood elevation in certain areas. Option D is incorrect because Zone AE does provide a base flood elevation. Option C is the correct answer because it accurately describes what Zone AE represents.
