D Correct answer
Explanation

'Unscathed' means completely unharmed or without injury - fitting perfectly for infrastructure escaping damage from a natural disaster. 'Undefiled' means morally pure, 'unblemished' means without imperfections, and 'unsullied' means not stained or tarnished. Only 'unscathed' specifically conveys escaping physical harm.
