To approach the question, I start by identifying what the infographic states about Canada’s costliest natural disaster to date.
Option a: 'Western Canada Glacier Crisis'—This label does not correspond to a listed event in the infographic and seems to be a fabricated or non-existent crisis name, so it cannot be the costliest disaster described.
Option b: 'Fort McMurray Wildfire'—The infographic highlights Fort McMurray in 2016 as 'Canada’s costliest natural disaster to-date,' and it provides specific impact data (hectares burned, buildings destroyed, and evacuations) that support its status as the most costly event presented.
Option c: '2016 Mike Flannigan Heatwave'—While the infographic includes a quote from a wildlife expert Mike Flanagan (not Flannigan) about climate impacts, there is no entry labeling a heatwave in 2016 as the costliest disaster; the Heatwave label does not appear as the costliest event.
Option d: '2021 Food Crisis'—The infographic shows generic climate-related challenges for 2021, but it does not identify a 2021 food crisis as the costliest natural disaster.

Now, focusing on why Fort McMurray Wildfire fits the question: the 2016 Fort McMurray wildfire is explicitly described in the infographic as 'Canada’s costliest natural disaster to-date,' and the accompanying figures (e.g., area burned, buildings destroyed, and evacuations) illustrate the scale that justifies calling it the costliest among the events depicted.

Why the other options are not correct: the glacier crisis label is not present as a costliest event, the heatwave option is not the labeled disaster in the graphic, and the food crisis in 2021 is not described as the costliest natural disaster in the infographic. The reasoning hinges on the explicit designation given in the image for the Fort McMurray event and its documented impact.
