The correct options are
A Landslide
B Earthquake
D Tsunami
Mining has many adverse effects on the environment. Constant mining can cause instability in the mountains or hills and cause landslides. These often trigger earthquakes too. Mining is also an underwater activity and disturbs the ocean floor. This can lead to underwater earthquakes and cause floods and tsunamis. Drought means that a place has less precipitation (rain or snow) than usual over a few months or even longer.
