A) Tornados

Criteria: Most pollutants from destroyed buildings, automobiles, and land-use structures, size of disaster, volume of disaster types, in a single calendar year.
4 strikeouts so far, the answer is included in the choices.
The pollution from what is destroyed, not the cause of the disaster.
Tornados.net Recommends:
I would think floods because they happen so often, and sweep everything into the rivers and oceans. They are really hard to clean up after.

I wouldn't characterize disasters as pollution but damage caused by these events.

Out of the choices, it would be A but it's actually volcanoes. Volcanoes produce volcanic ash that pollutes the atmosphere and does damage to pretty much everything that the magma touches.
