Based on the choices given, the statements that define a tsunami are:

A deep-water wave that is caused by an undersea earthquake.

A tidal wave

A seismic sea wave

Tsunamis can be triggered generally by disturbances below or above water. Moreover, tsunamis are particularly destructive due to their massive heights that have the potential to drown cities and towns nearby from where they originate.
