C Correct answer
Explanation

1816 is known as the 'Year Without a Summer' due to the massive eruption of Mount Tambora in Indonesia in 1815, which injected volcanic ash and aerosols into the atmosphere, blocking sunlight and causing global climate anomalies. This led to crop failures and famine across the Northern Hemisphere. The other years listed (1514, 1616) are not associated with this phenomenon.
