Answer 1

Answer:

A. 3 മാത്രം

• The Disaster Management Act, 2005 defines disaster impacts broadly, including both significant loss of life and human suffering, which encompasses physical as well as psychological suffering. The act does not limit the definition or outcomes of disasters to only physical injuries but recognizes comprehensive human impacts. Therefore, psychological suffering is indeed recognized as part of human suffering caused by disasters.
