Explanation

Natural disasters are classified based on their origin and the environment in which they occur, as detailed in official sources like the NCERT Class XI (India: Physical Environment):

  • Blizzards (A-2): These are severe snowstorms with high winds and low visibility, classified as Atmospheric hazards.
  • Soil erosion (B-1): This is the displacement of the upper layer of soil, occurring on the land surface, and is categorized as a Terrestrial hazard.
  • Tsunami (C-4): These are giant sea waves caused by underwater seismic activities like earthquakes or volcanic eruptions, classified as Aquatic hazards.
  • Locusts (D-3): Infestations by these insects, which cause significant damage to vegetation and crops, are classified as Biological hazards.

Matching these pairs results in the sequence A-2, B-1, C-4, and D-3, which corresponds to Option C.
