The city where Luke lives was recently hit by a tornado. He organizes a team to help clean up the debris around the city. Which of the following items will directly impact the time estimates for cleaning the beach areas? a.) The budget for potential cost overruns b.) The cost of renting vehicles to take debris to the landfill c.) The availability of collection and disposal equipment d.) The number of tornados that have hit the city in the past

The availability of collection and disposal equipment will have a direct impact on the time estimates for cleaning the beach areas. When the right equipment, like trucks and dumpsters, is readily available, the team can clear debris more efficiently. If they have to wait for equipment or work with subpar tools, the cleanup will take much longer. The cost of renting vehicles to take debris to the landfill can also affect the cleaning timeline indirectly. If the budget allows for more vehicles, the team can send out more crews simultaneously, speeding up the clean-up process. Conversely, if funds are tight and fewer vehicles are available, the team will face delays in removing debris, prolonging the cleanup effort.
