Answer 1

The correct option is D Emotional/Mental stress - the economic effect of a disaster

Different problems occur with disasters.

Emotional / Mental stress and death of victims are the medical effect of a disaster.
Because of collapse of the infrastructure, there is a sudden increase in the available fund's expenditure. This is clearly an economic effect of a disaster.
Because of structural collapse, sources of water gets contaminated often in the case of disasters. This falls in the cateogory of environmental effect of a disaster.
