Solution

The correct option is C Drought
In the above situation, there has been no rainfall for a long period of time and this has caused the disaster called drought. This lead to scarcity of water, because of which the water reserves of the village are almost exhausted and the people are unable to cultivate crops.
Floods, water pollution and earthquake are different kinds of natural disasters. Floods are caused due to heavy rainfall. An earthquake is the sudden shaking and trembling of the earth's crust.
