Complete answer:
To answer this question you must know all about floods.
Flood is an overflow of water on the land that is normally dry or floods can happen anywhere caused by atmospheric conditions that lead to heavy rain or rapid melting of snow and. There are five types of flood -
1:-Flash floods are fast moving waters that sweep everything in their path. The rapid water torrent can move large objects such as cars, rocks etc.
2:-River floods are characterized by gradual riverbank overflow caused by extensive rainfall over an extended period of time.
3:-Coastal floods caused by strong winds or storms that move towards the coast during high tide. When powerful waves breach the coast dune or dike, the area is usually flooded.
4:-Urban flood occurs when the drainage system in a city or town fails to absorb the water from heavy rain so that water flows out into the street, making driving dangerous etc.
5:-Pluvial floods occur in a flat area where the terrain can’t absorb the rainwater, causing puddles and ponds to appear and it is similar to urban floods.

Therefore the correct option is (C) five.

Note :-
There are weather satellites that are used to spot heavily flooded regions from space, satellites also help to create ‘flood maps’. These maps help to determine where to send help and resources during floods. floods in the Indian continent have increased radically over the last few decades.
