Answer 1

Option D, Habitats may be washed away or buried under sediment.

Step-by-step explanation:

Floods lead to excessive drainage of an area thereby making small animals susceptible to the resulting mudslide. Burrowing animals are the hardest hit as their habitat gets completely destroyed for a longer period of time. Their burrows either collapse or are blocked by flowing debris thereby blocking sunlight, reducing oxygen levels and suffocating the animals

Hence, option D is correct
