Solution
The correct option is C Hydrological
A Hydrological Disaster is a
violent, sudden and destructive change either in quality of earth's water or in
distribution or movement of water on land below the surface or in atmosphere.
A flood is an overflow of water
that submerges land. The EU Floods Directive defines a flood as a temporary
covering by water of land which is usually not covered by water. Flooding may
result from the volume of water within a body of water, such as a river or
lake, which overflows causing the result that some of the water escapes its
usual boundaries.
