Answer: c.
Explanation: The 26 Dec 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami was caused by a megathrust earthquake off Sumatra with magnitude about 9.1–9.3. It produced catastrophic loss of life (hundreds of thousands killed), so (a) is false, and wave heights reached on the order of tens of meters (up to ~30 m/≈100 ft in places), not 500 ft, so (b) is false.
