A) is the correct answer (i think, but it seems the most realistic...) I hope this helps! If, not I'm sorry, and good luck!

Answer: A) often generated by movements of the ocean floor

Step-by-step explanation:

Tsunamis are also called as the giant waves which are caused by the movement of the ocean floor. The oceanic floor may move due to disturbances like earthquakes, underwater volcanic eruption, landslide and even the meteorite collision. These are also called as seismic sea waves but also mistakenly called as the tidal waves.
