Answer: C

Explanation:

To earn the LEED Location and Transportation Credit for Surrounding Density and Diverse Uses, Option 2, the project’s main entrance must be within a half-mile walking distance of at least seven different publicly accessible uses. The uses must be from separate categories as defined by LEED1. The options provided in answer C represent four distinct categories: retail (clothing store), business (commercial office), health (eye doctor), and food (supermarket), making it the most suitable choice for the calculation.

Reference: This information aligns with the guidelines provided in the LEED v4 for Interior Design and Construction reference guide, specifically under the Location and Transportation Credit: Surrounding Density and Diverse Uses1.
