This could include relief from local ordinances for construction, as mentioned in option C. Option A, a statistical measurement, is incorrect as it does not pertain to the concept of a variance. Option B, a disagreement between neighbors, is also incorrect as it does not pertain to floodplain management. Option D, a type of flood insurance, is incorrect as it also does not pertain to the concept of a variance.
