Solution
The correct option is B Drought
If there is no rain, crops can fail and there can be a drought. It is a lack or insufficiency of rain for an extended period that causes a considerable water imbalance and, consequently, water shortages, crop damage, streamflow reduction, and depletion of groundwater and soil moisture.
It occurs when evaporation and transpiration (the movement of water in the soil through plants into the air) exceed precipitation for a considerable period. Drought is the most serious physical hazard to agriculture.
