Solution
The correct option is A El Nino
El Nino is a climate cycle, occurring after 5-8 years in the Pacific ocean which globally impacts weather pattern. The cycle begins when warm water in the western tropical Pacific Ocean shifts eastward along the equator toward the coast of South America. The cold counterpart of El Nino is called La Nino. The weakening of the trade winds which results in pushing of warm surface water to the west and less cold water to the east cause the effect of El Nino.Hence, the correct answer is 'El Nino'
