Solution

The correct option is B Mitigation

A sudden accident or a natural catastrophe that causes great damage or loss of life and property is called a disaster. It can be natural like earth quakes, tsunami, floods etc and artificial disasters like terrorist attack etc. The important aspect of disaster risk reduction is mitigation which is to reduce the effect of disaster for example, construction of wooden houses instead of concrete in disaster prone countries like Japan.
