Although I cannot say for sure without seeing the list of options, the answer is most likely none of the above. Residents of many towns believe they are protected from tornadoes by a river, lake, or hill when none of these things will stop a tornado. The apparent lack of tornadoes in most of these towns is usually a matter of mere chance.

∙ 8y agoNo town is protected from tornadoes in the sense that something prevents them from striking. The only "protection" that exists are warnings, which let people get to safety before a tornado hits.
There are many myths about towns that are protect by a nearby river, hill, or some other feature. In reality none of these features do anything to stop tornadoes. Places believed to be protected, such as Topeka, Kansas and Pilger, Nebraska have been devastated by tornadoes. There are many towns in Tornado Alley that have never had a tornado, or at least a significant tornado, in recorded history. That these places have not been hit while others have is simply a matter of chance.
