The correct option is B tsunami
Cyclones and whirlpools are related to the wind on land or inside the ocean. On the other hand, tsunamis are giant waves caused by earthquakes or volcanic eruptions under the sea. Out in the depths of the ocean, tsunami waves do not dramatically increase in height. But as the waves travel inland, they build up to higher and higher heights as the depth of the ocean decreases.
