Correct option is (b) Floods

To explain: Floods are catastrophic disasters in nature. If a canal is not lined or it constructed on weak foundations then there is chance of regular floods, sometimes even flash floods. In unlined canals there is constant eroding of embankments which ultimately leads to floods. So, therefore lining of canal helps to keep a check or stop the floods, which is a major danger.
