On December 26, 2004, a massive earthquake (9.1-9.3 magnitude) struck off the coast of Sumatra, Indonesia.

It triggered a devastating tsunami that affected multiple countries around the Indian Ocean, causing massive destruction and loss of life.


Other Options Explained:

(A) Irian Jaya – A province in eastern Indonesia, not affected by the 2004 earthquake.

(C) Kalibangan – An ancient Indus Valley Civilization site in India, unrelated to Indonesia.

(D) Java – Another Indonesian island, but the earthquake's epicenter was near Sumatra.


Thus, the correct answer is (B) Sumatra
