Answer: The correct answer is machine accident

Step-by-step explanation: This answer has been confirmed correct.

Disasters often impact multiple locations and over a wide range of locations. A drought is considered a natural disaster, where Radiation exposure (such as nuclear power plant issues) and environmental accidents (like oil spills) are classified as man-made disasters. A machine accident affects a single location and limited people, so it is not deemed a disaster.

I would say drought is not a disaster cause it is the only one that is caused by a disaster and the rest are actual disasters
