Which line from the text best supports the claim that Indigenous Louisianians face greater climate-related losses than their non-Indigenous neighbors?

a
Now 25, Parfait is helping his community navigate a future made uncertain by climate change. Last year he became chief of the 1,100-member Grand Caillou/Dulac Band of the Biloxi-Chitimacha-Choctaw tribe.
b
By studying satellite imagery of southern Louisiana, he found that majority-Indigenous communities around the Grand Caillou and Dulac area were losing land at more than twice the rate of the rest of the state.
c
When damage from Hurricane Ida in 2021 made it difficult for Dulac facilities to host the band’s annual pow-wow celebration, Parfait partnered with members of the nearby Houma tribe to organize a joint ceremony.
d
“All the time I hear from people that they want to leave, because of Dulac’s economy and cost of living,” Parfait said, adding that flood insurance was a major expense for most residents around Louisiana’s low-lying areas.
