Once the people saw that the ocean waters are receding and were living vast space without water behind them, they knew that something big and very dangerous will happen. And in fact it did. The water that was sucked in in the place were there was a crack on the ocean floor, got shot back under big pressure and it had very big speed, as well as having waves that were destroying anything on their way.

Answer:

Option (A)

Explanation:

Tsunamis are the series of large waves that are generated in the large water bodies such as seas and oceans, due to an earthquake, underwater explosion or landslide. These waves can rise up to a height of about hundreds of meters.

A receding ocean is a sign of danger that signifies that a tsunami is approaching. During this time the water level drops down unusually along the coastline. It is a kind of warning that is given to the people living in the coastal areas to evacuate it as soon as possible in order to save their lives.
