D. Japanese

Answer: Option D

Solution(By Examveda Team)

Tsunami is a Japanese word from a double root: tsu, meaning port or harbour, and nami, meaning wave. The word looks innocuous in simple translation, but to those who live on the rim of the Pacific it can spell disaster. Tsunamis are fast moving ocean waves which spread across the open water like ripples on a pond.
