Answer:
On August 24, after centuries of dormancy, Mount Vesuvius erupts in southern Italy, devastating the prosperous Roman cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum and killing thousands. The cities, buried under a thick layer of volcanic material and mud, were never rebuilt and largely forgotten in the course of history. In the 18th century, Pompeii and Herculaneum were rediscovered and excavated, providing an unprecedented archaeological record of the everyday life of an ancient civilization, startlingly preserved in sudden death.
The ancient cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum thrived near the base of Mount Vesuvius at the Bay of Naples. In the time of the early Roman Empire, 20,000 people lived in Pompeii, including merchants, manufacturers, and farmers who exploited the rich soil of the region with numerous vineyards and orchards. None suspected that the black fertile earth was the legacy of earlier eruptions of Mount Vesuvius. Herculaneum was a city of 5,000 and a favorite summer destination for rich Romans. Named for the mythic hero Hercules, Herculaneum housed opulent villas and grand Roman baths. Gambling artifacts found in Herculaneum and a brothel unearthed in Pompeii attest to the decadent nature of the cities. There were smaller resort communities in the area as well, such as the quiet little town of Stabiae.

The correct answer is Option D) Treatment during the great hunger or Irish potato famine
.
The Irish Potato Famine is known as the 'Great Famine' or Great Hunger in Ireland and describes a period between 1845-1849 when potato crops in Ireland failed.
Over two-fifths of the population of Ireland relied on Potato farming and when the crops failed, it led to mass hunger, starvation and even deaths.
Things were made worse when the British government did not readily help the Irish. The famine led to the deaths of over 1 million people and as a result over 1 million people emigrated to other parts of the world.
One of the most controversial policies of the UK was to allow the export of food stuffs from Ireland to other parts of the country.
Many historians believe that if the export was banned, like it was done over a century ago, many lives could have been saved.
