Solution

The correct option is C the 2004 tsunami that struck the islands
An earthquake, volcano or underwater landslide can cause huge displacement of ocean water. This results in huge tidal waves called a tsunami. It is the Japanese word for harbour wave. The 2004 tsunami was responsible for the submergence of the Indira point in the Andaman and Nicobar islands.
