Solution

The correct option is D Lightning strikes
Forest fires can occur due to lightning strikes, sparks during arid conditions, due to volcanic eruptions, a lit cigarette, or by burning things left by tourists, and pilgrims. These fires spread quickly because of the blowing wind and the dry vegetation.
