D.high and sandy

答案：C
本题考查考生的推论能力。考的是北卡罗来纳州的海岸情况。原文第二段中：Farther south , from Maryland through the Florida Keys , the coast was low and sandy.It was often necessary to build tall towers there一massive structures like the majestic Cape Hatteras,North Carolina,lighthouse,which was lit in 1870.At 190 feet,it is the tallest brick lighthouse in the country．据此可知，马里兰（Maryland）和佛罗里达群岛（the Florida Keys）需建同北卡罗来纳州的 Cape Hatteras一样高大的灯塔。由此可以推知北卡罗来纳州（North Carolina）的海岸情况与马里兰（Maryland）和佛罗里达群岛（the Florida Keys）相似，而马里兰（Maryland）和佛罗里达群岛 ( the Florida Keys）的海岸是low and sandy。所以，北卡罗来纳州也应是low and sandy。选项 A : rocky eminences是美国东北海岸的特点，选项B、D根本没有提及。所以，正确答案是C。
