We have to face frequently flood and droughts.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. frequent floods.

The correct choice is "frequent floods" because "frequent" is the appropriate adjective to describe things that occur often, while "frequently" is an adverb and would not correctly modify the noun "floods."

In the sentence, "floods" is a plural noun, and "frequent" directly modifies it to indicate that floods happen often.

The other options either misuse the adjective or adverb forms or don’t make sense grammatically.

Therefore, "frequent floods" is the correct choice.
