BNeither natural nor man-made disasters can be avoided
CNatural disasters can be avoided but man-made ones cannot

Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. Natural disasters cannot be avoided but man-made ones can
1. The 'Always remember' box says avoidance of natural disaster is impossible, though the loss from it can be minimised.
2. It adds that man-made disasters can be avoided.
3. So the correct statement is that natural disasters cannot be avoided but man-made ones can.
4. Rule out option C: it reverses the truth, since natural disasters are the ones that cannot be avoided.
