Solution

The correct option is C Cyclone
Based on whether we can predict the occurrence of a disaster or not, natural disasters can be classified into disasters which can be forecasted, i.e., predictable disasters and ones which cannot be forecasted, i.e., unpredictable disasters. With advancements in technology, humans have begun predicting certain natural disasters, as in cyclones where warnings are sent out well in advance.
