The correct answer is B) Forest fire.
Forest fires were a significant issue in late 2020 and early 2021 in several regions of India, including Uttarakhand, parts of Himachal Pradesh (like Kullu Valley), and notably the Dzukou Valley on the border of Nagaland and Manipur. These incidents brought these specific locations into the news on account of the extensive damage caused by the fires.
