Match correctly the disasters with their corresponding characteristics :

DisasterCharacteristic
(a) Volcanic eruption1. Violent wind
(b) Cyclone2. Submarine earthquake/landslides
(c) Tsunami3. Desertification
(d) Drought4. Magma

Codes (a), (b), (c), (d):

  • A.4 1 2 3
  • B.3 2 1 4
  • C.3 1 2 4
  • D.2 3 1 4

Answer: A

The disasters match as volcanic eruption with magma (4), cyclone with violent wind (1), tsunami with submarine earthquake or landslides (2) and drought with desertification (3), the code 4 1 2 3.

The other codes mismatch at least two of these pairs.

Magma is the molten rock that erupts from a volcano. A cyclone is a system of violent winds, a tsunami is a sea wave caused by a submarine earthquake or landslide, and drought is a long dry spell that leads to desertification. These definitions fix the code 4 1 2 3.
