The violent eruption of _________ volcano between the islands of Sumatra and Java is considered as the most violent of volcanic eruptions in modern human history.
The correct option is B Krakatoa
Krakatoa is a volcanic island
situated in the Sunda Strait between the islands of Java and Sumatra in the
Indonesian province of Lampung. The name is also used for the surrounding
island group comprising the remnants of a much larger island of three volcanic
peaks which was obliterated in a cataclysmic 1883 eruption, unleashing huge
tsunamis (killing more than 36,000 people) and destroying over two-thirds of
the island. The explosion is considered to be the loudest sound ever heard in
modern history, with reports of it being heard up to 4,800 km from its point of
origin. The shock waves from the explosion were recorded on barographs
worldwide for days afterward.
