Solution

The correct option is C Flood

Flood causes a sudden rise of water level in a region. It causes massive damage and destruction.

  • The crop fields, forests, villages, and cities may get submerged by water.
  • The animals living in the water get carried away with the water and can get trapped in land areas and die when flood water recedes.
  • Sudden rise in water levels in rivers can cause flash floods and directly claim lives and damage property.
