The correct option is D.

Explanation of the correct option:

  1. A flood occurs when water overflows onto land.
  2. A river may receive additional water due to excessive rains or other natural calamities.
  3. The water overflows from its typical channel in the riverbed and onto the dry land when this happens.
  4. Floods destroy crops, domestic animals, property, and people's lives.
  5. Floodwaters inundate farmland, rendering it unusable and preventing crops from being sown or harvested, resulting in food shortages for humans and farm animals alike.
