Solution

The correct option is D

Tsunami


Tremors are caused by factors that have the potential to move the tectonic plates significantly, such as volcanoes, meteors 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.
