Solution

The correct option is A Flood
We say an area is flooded, when large amount of water fills up the land and destroys the life and property that exist there. Causes of a flood include hurricanes, broken dams, rapidly melting snow, or heavy rainfall. A flood is a predictable natural disaster, and hence, necessary measures can be taken against it in advance.
