Solution

The correct option is D
Tsunami

Tremors are caused by factors that have the potential to move the tectonic plates significantly. Some examples include volcanoes, meteor showers, underground nuclear explosion etc. A tsunami is caused by an earthquake deep in the sea, or due to seismic activity in the ocean floor. But a tsunami does not cause an earthquake.
