The correct response is I, II, and III.

All three can cause tsunamis:

  • I. Earthquakes: The most common cause of tsunamis, particularly those that occur under the ocean.
  • II. Volcanic eruptions: Eruptions can displace large amounts of water, leading to tsunamis.
  • III. Landslides: Underwater landslides or landslides into the ocean can also generate tsunamis.

Therefore, tsunamis can result from any of these three events.
