    The answer is B) The Mercalli Scale. This answer is correct, because the Mercalli scale measures the intensity and effect of the earthquake. This would most adequately determine the damages to buildings. Whereas, the Richter scale measures the magnitude of an earthquake, which is a measure of energy.
