The correct answer is: Emphasizes a visual inspection of the property and a review of relevant owner documents.

A Phase 1 environmental site assessment primarily focuses on assessing the risk of potential environmental contamination on a property, by conducting a visual inspection and reviewing relevant documents. Option A is incorrect because it refers to the follow-up Phase 2 assessment, which includes a work plan and remediation strategy. Option C is incorrect because it describes the Phase 3 assessment, which involves quantifying the extent of contamination and developing a cleanup plan. Option D is incorrect because it is a general statement about the different phases of site assessments and does not specifically describe the primary focus of a Phase 1 assessment.
