For which project would a government leader most likely use a cost-benefit analysis?

building a new police station or fire station
building a new hospital closer to a city
building a new school with granite or limestone
building a water-filtration plant near a reservoir

the answer is: building a water-filtration plant near a reservoir

Cost-benefit analysis was being done to make sure that the benefit that can be acquired from a certain project would outweigh the total expense needed to make that project happen.
