C. It flooded the entire building.

This is your answer because of this sentence "the hotel was suddenly inundated by a gigantic wave of water that dismantled the building and swept Berkus into the ocean". The key word is inundated, which means overwhelmed. The wave flooded the building and caused it to fall apart.
