The correct answer is C) The Indian Ocean / Indonesia

This was such a huge tsunami and a strong earthquake that there were 168 000 civilian casualties in Indonesia which was hit the hardest. The epicenter was in the Indian ocean and the earthquake was so strong that the entire earth shifted by a centimeter and triggered smaller earthquakes as far as Alaska.
