The nearest meaning of the word 'Landslides' is
Answer: B
A landslide is the sliding down of a mass of rock, earth etc.
A landslide is the movement of a mass of rock, soil and debris down a slope under gravity. It is often triggered by heavy rain soaking the slope, by earthquakes, or by cutting into hillsides for roads, which is why hill roads are so often blocked by landslides in the monsoon.
A violent downpour is heavy rain, which may cause a landslide but is not one. The wearing away of rock by water or weather is erosion and weathering, and damage to a road is a possible consequence, not the meaning of the word.
