A project team achieved an 80% water use reduction for an office building. What is true about this achievement?

Notes:

Reference: LEED 2009 for New Construction and Major Renovations Rating System
A:LEED requires a baseline water use reduction for buildings of 20%. An 80% reduction would qualify the project for an exemplary performance point under Innovation in Design.
B:The WaterSense label provided by the EPA lets you know a flow/flush fixture uses less water. However, LEED does not require this label to be on anything installed in the project.
C:All of the flush fixtures in the building do not have to be low-flow to meet the credit requirements. In fact none of the flush fixtures could be low-flow and an 80% water use reduction could still be achieved, though it would be more difficult to do so. For instance, if a building used graywater/stormwater for all flushing fixtures, that would significantly reduce the amount of potable water used.
D:Addressing geographically specific environmental priorities can earn a Regional Priority credit. Nowhere in the question was information provided about the region the project was in. Additionally, this answer choice stated will earn. Without additional information you cannot be sure.
