Answer»

Right choice is (c) Both BHOPAL tragedy and crude oil leak in Canada

To explain I would say: Bhopal gas tragedy is caused by the immediate flow of water into Methyl ISOCYANATE gas tank. This resulted in the formation of much carbon dioxide and the TEMPERATURE INSIDE the tank reach over 200°C. Crude oil leakage in Canada occurred in 2017, occurred DUE to corrosion at the sealing.
