To answer this multiple-choice question, you need to understand what natural disasters are. Natural disasters refer to extreme, sudden events caused by environmental factors that result in significant damage to property and loss of life. Among the given options, the only choice that lists three natural disasters is "hurricanes, earthquakes, and volcanoes."
To arrive at this answer, you need to eliminate the other options by understanding what each choice represents. The first option, "earthquakes, building demolitions, and floods," does include earthquakes and floods, which are natural disasters. However, building demolitions are not natural disasters but rather intentional actions.
The third option, "tsunamis, winter storms, and terrorism," includes tsunamis, which are natural disasters caused by underwater earthquakes. However, winter storms can be naturally occurring weather events, but they are not classified as natural disasters. Terrorism, on the other hand, is a man-made disaster and not a natural one.
The last option, "flu epidemics, landslides, and tornadoes," includes landslides and tornadoes, which are both natural disasters. However, flu epidemics are not classified as natural disasters but rather as disease outbreaks.
Thus, the only choice that includes three natural disasters is "hurricanes, earthquakes, and volcanoes."
