Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the section of the letter that details the conditions required to secure the $15,000 funding.
Locate the sentence: 'Please note that this award is contingent upon the submission of a certified environmental impact report by March 15, 2026.'
This sentence specifies the exact dependency (contingency) for the grant.
2
Extract the specific requirement and its deadline from the identified sentence.
The requirement is a 'certified environmental impact report' and the deadline is 'March 15, 2026'.
This provides the concrete details needed to verify the correct answer choice.
3
Evaluate the answer choices against the extracted details to eliminate incorrect options.
The choice referencing the environmental impact report by March 15, 2026, matches the text exactly, while other choices misrepresent dates or requirements.
This confirms the correct option and eliminates distractors based on chronological or contextual errors.
