Read the passage below, then answer the question that follows. When cities replace asphalt parking lots with permeable pavement, rainwater soaks into the ground instead of rushing into storm drains.

Which statement BEST expresses the central idea of the passage?
Correct answer: D - Permeable pavement's environmental and drainage benefits can offset its higher cost.
