A) create a community group to express their concerns to decision-makers.

Explanation:

If it is the collective opinion of all the residents or majority of the residents to stop the city from locating a dump close to the area, then the best line of action is to relay their grievances in an orderly and non-violent manner to the right authorities. This can be done by creating a group that can express their concerns to decision-makers. This is sometimes done via meetings with the decision-makers or simply staging a peaceful protest.
