Explanation:

• For the 1985 Mexico City earthquake: Thousands of Mexican citizens were killed (historical records confirm significant casualties). More than 100,000 buildings needed repair (extensive structural damage). About 3,000 buildings were completely destroyed (accurate destruction count). The oil spill and huge ocean wave (tsunami - like) are not associated with this earthquake; the 1985 quake was a shallow - focus earthquake in the continental crust, not triggering a major oil spill from refineries or a large coastal wave.

Answer:

A. Thousands of Mexican citizens were killed.
B. More than 100,000 buildings were in need of repair.
D. About 3,000 buildings were completely destroyed.
