Why the answer is B, and why the others tempt you.
The student's summary correctly captures two points — school closure and assistance to victims — so it is accurate. However, it omits the detail that parents were advised to keep children at home and that the closure was due to flooding, making it incomplete. It is not inaccurate because what is stated reflects the passage.
