Solution

The correct option is B Earthquake
Earthquakes are geophysical disasters caused as a result of a sudden release of stored energy in the Earth's crust that creates seismic waves. It may occur naturally or as a result of human activities. Smaller earthquakes can also be caused by volcanic activity, landslides, mine blasts, and nuclear experiments.
