Answer

Brief Explanations:

The passage first presents a situation (basements and sewage systems becoming waterlogged causing steel beams to rust) which is the cause. Then it shows the result (buildings collapsing). This is a classic cause - and - effect relationship. A chronological structure would be in time order. A spatial structure would be about location. A problem - solution would have a problem and then a solution. Here, there is no solution presented.

Answer:

B. Cause - and - effect
