C Correct answer
Explanation

A limnic eruption is a rare natural disaster where dissolved carbon dioxide (CO2) suddenly erupts from deep lake waters, creating a deadly gas cloud that can suffocate wildlife and humans. This occurs when lakes become saturated with CO2 from volcanic activity beneath the lake. Options A and D are incorrect as they describe unrelated phenomena. Option B is partially correct but too broad - limnic eruptions specifically involve CO2 in water bodies, not the general atmosphere.
