D2 & 4 only

Correct answer: (B) 1, 3 & 4 only

Explanation

Global warming can trigger or worsen drought, floods and storms.

Statement 1 holds, as warming intensifies dry spells and drought.

Statement 3 holds, since heavier rainfall and rising seas raise the flood risk.

Statement 4 holds, because warmer oceans fuel stronger storms.

Statement 2 fails, as earthquakes arise from tectonic movement, not climate.

A warmer atmosphere holds more moisture, sharpening these weather extremes.
