To determine this answer, we can analyze the options provided:
1. Well-constructed frame homes could have damage to the roof, shingles, and vinyl siding. - This option indicates damage to the roof, shingles, and vinyl siding, but it does not specify severe damage or loss of most of the roof structure.
2. Well-built framed homes could incur major damage or removal of roof decking and gable ends. -This option describes major damage or removal of roof decking and gable ends, but it does not mention severe damage or loss of most of the roof structure.
3. A high percentage of framed homes could be destroyed, with total roof failure and wall collapse. - This option describes total destruction of a high percentage of framed homes, including total roof failure and wall collapse. This would indicate more catastrophic damage than that of a Category 1 hurricane.
4. Well-built framed homes could sustain severe damage, with loss of most of the roof structure. - This option matches the expected structural damage for a Category 1 hurricane, as it mentions severe damage and loss of most of the roof structure.
