The correct answer is the second option - <span>to occur unexpectedly and have destructive or harmful effects.
</span>Here, the word struck is just a past form of the verb to strike, meaning to happen unexpectedly and have dire consequences, like an earthquake can hit California, in this case. The final definition is a noun, and does not fit in the context of the original sentence.
A noun is the name of a person, place or thing. Adjectives are words used to describe a noun. Verbs are action words. They describe what something is doing. Adverbs are words used to describe a verb. An interjection is an abrupt statement such as "Oh dear!" or "Yes!". Pronouns are used in place of nouns. For example: "Mary went shopping. She bought a new bracelet." Mary would be the noun and the word she is the pronoun. Conjunctions are words used to connection clauses or sentences. <span>A preposition is a word used to link </span>nouns<span>, </span>pronouns<span>, or phrases to other words within a sentence. </span>
