All three options you provided can cause tsunamis:
I. Earthquakes - Most tsunamis are generated by underwater earthquakes, particularly those occurring along tectonic plate boundaries.
II. Volcanic eruptions - Explosive volcanic eruptions can displace large volumes of water, leading to tsunamis.
III. Landslides - Underwater landslides, as well as landslides that occur on land and enter the water, can also trigger tsunamis.
Therefore, the correct answer is that all three (I, II, III) can cause tsunamis.

In the scenario you described, the presence of cracked and moved earth materials, flooded areas, and extreme erosion suggests a significant disturbance along the coast. While an earthquake can cause considerable damage on its own, the mention of flooding and erosion strongly points towards the effects usually associated with a tsunami.
Therefore, the most likely reason for the changes is **"Both an earthquake and a tsunami caused the damage."** An earthquake could generate a tsunami, which then leads to flooding and erosion along the coastline, as tsunamis can cause widespread destruction.
