    Tsunamis are seismic sea waves generated by underwater earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or underwater landslides.
    
    They travel at high speeds in deep water and grow in height as they approach the coast, causing massive destruction.
    
    
    Other Options Explained:
    
    (A) Tides – Regular rise and fall of sea levels due to the gravitational pull of the Moon and Sun.
    
    (C) Current – Continuous movement of ocean water due to wind, temperature, and salinity differences.
    
    (D) Cyclone – A powerful storm system with strong winds and heavy rainfall, but not a seismic wave.
    
    
    Thus, the correct answer is (B) Tsunami.
