Read the following passage then choose the best answer .

Niagara Falls, one of the most famous North American natural wonders, has long been a

popular tourist destination. Tourists today flock to see the two falls that actually constitute

Niagara Falls: the 173-foot Horseshoe Falls on the Canadian side of the Niagara River in

the Canadian province of Ontario and the 182-foot high American Falls on the U.S. side of

the river in the state of New York. Approximately 85 percent of the water that goes over

the falls actually goes over Horseshoe Falls, with the rest going over American Falls.

Most visitors come betwen April and October, and it is quite a popular activity to take a

steamer out onto the river and right up to the base of the falls for a close- up view. It is

also possible to get a spectacular view of the falls from the strategic locations along the

Niagara River, such as Prospect Point or Table Rock, or from one of the four observation

towers which have heights up to 500 feet.

Tourists have been visiting Niagara Falls in large numbers since the 1800s; annual

visitation now averages above 10 million visitors per year. Because of concern that all

these tourists would inadvertently destroy the natural beauty of this scenic wonder, the state

of New York in 1885 created Niagara Falls Park in order to protect the land surrounding

American Falls. A year later Canada created Queen Victoria Park on the Canadian side of

the Niagara, around Horseshoe Falls. With the area surrounding the falls under the

jurisdiction of the government agencies, appropriate steps could be taken to preserve the

pristine beauty of the area.
