Solution

The correct option is A drought
If there is no rain for a long period or for many years, then there is scarcity of water in that region. This leads to drought. The lack of adequate precipitation, either rain or snow, can cause reduced soil moisture or groundwater , diminished stream flow, crop damage, and a general water shortage.
