Solution
The correct option is D Earthquakes
Human activities contribute to an increase in the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. As carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas, it traps the heat and does not allow it to escape the Earth's atmosphere. This phenomenon is known as global warming.
Global warming leads to an increase in the average temperature of the Earth, which further leads to wide ranging effects on rainfall patterns, glaciers, agriculture, forests, plants, and animals.
Earthquakes, however, are natural disasters that occur due to the friction present between the edges of the tectonic plates.
