Solution

The correct option is A Cloudburst
The floods occurred in 2010 across a large part of Ladakh, a region of the northernmost Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir. 71 towns and villages were damaged, including the main town in the area, Leh. At least 255 people are reported to have died, after a cloudburst and heavy overnight rains triggered flash foods, mudslides, and debris flows.
