参考答案: A

本题解释:
A Landscape area: the total site area less the building footprint, paved surfaces, water bodies, and patios. (-USGBC)

The tree save area would be included in the landscape area. A tree save area is defined as any tree cover on the tract left undisturbed. They are usually roped off to prevent trucks from driving in the area and people from accidentally cutting down the trees.
B Open grid pavement is a strategy for reducing heat islands and for stormwater control. Open-grid pavement is considered part of the site hardscape.
C The neighboring property is outside of the LEED project boundary.
D Paved surfaces would be excluded.
