D Earthquakes and mudslides push crops into rivers where the pesticides wash away and reach the ocean.
All of the above responses are correct. All of the actions (earthquakes, mudslides, rain, flooding) described in A, B, and C can result in the washing of pesticides and other agricultural chemicals into the ocean, which can have negative impacts on ocean ecosystems and wildlife.

The correct answer is D - Earthquakes and mudslides push crops into rivers where the pesticides wash away and reach the ocean.
Explanation: In Central America and the Caribbean, farming practices have had a negative impact on the ocean due to the occurrence of earthquakes and mudslides. These natural disasters can push crops into nearby rivers, which then carry the pesticides used in farming into the ocean. The pesticides can be washed away by the flowing water, eventually reaching and polluting the ocean.
