The best option to help a reader understand why a tsunami forms would be:
**a. Seismograph charts from documented tsunamis.**
Seismograph charts provide direct evidence of the seismic activity and underwater earthquakes that typically trigger tsunamis. While a Venn diagram comparing a tsunami and a tornado (option b) has its merits, it would not specifically explain the formation of tsunamis. Therefore, option **c (both a and b)** is not the best answer either.
Thus, the correct answer is **a. Seismograph charts from documented tsunamis.**
