Answer: D

Explanation:

The board of appeals does not have the authority to waive code requirements, set jurisdiction precedent, or withdraw a project. However, according to NFPA 1031, the board of appeals is typically granted the right to consider alternative methods or materials to those required by code, provided that they achieve the same level of safety. This is done to allow flexibility in the application of the code while maintaining safety and compliance.

The exact provisions for the board of appeals can be found in NFPA 1031 and the relevant local building and fire codes.
