Colby Krueger · Answer 2

Wood

Explanation:

Buildings made by brick or concrete have low ductility. And due to low ductility they absorb very less energy. This makes them not so good material for area prone to earthquakes. While Wood or steel reinforced concrete would be more suitable for area prone to earthquakes as they have increased ductility.
