Answer:

The correct answer is d) Leakage of toxic gases​.

Explanation:

There are two types of disasters:

1. Natural disasters
2. Man-made disasters

Natural disasters are the ones that are caused due to natural factors and are beyond our controls.

Man-made disasters take place due to actions caused by humans and are avoidable.
