Solution

The correct option is D Deficiency in rainfall.

Deficiency in rainfall is not responsible for environmental degradation. Rainfall deficiency may cause some problems in long run like drought like situation but in a year of rainfall deficiency will not causes much environmental degradation. On the other hand, volcanic eruption, earthquake and cyclone causes huge environmental degradation. Sometimes within a minute or two these calamities destroys everything.
