The answer is c: Sinkholes.

Explanation for each option:

a. Urbanization: This refers to the process of cities expanding and populations increasing in urban areas. It is not directly caused by overmining or ineffective mining methods.

b. Municipality: This term refers to a town or district that has local government. It is unrelated to the physical effects of mining.

c. Sinkholes: These are depressions or holes in the ground caused by the collapse of a surface layer. Overmining or ineffective mining methods can lead to the destabilization of the ground, potentially causing sinkholes.

d. Deforestation: This is the clearing or thinning of forests by humans. While mining can contribute to deforestation, it is not a direct result of overmining or ineffective methods in the same way sinkholes are.

Summary: Overmining or ineffective methods can destabilize the ground, leading to the formation of sinkholes.
