I would say that A and D are the correct answers that a major volcanic eruption like Krakatoa in the 1800's can fill the atmosphere with ash and block out the sun and cool off the weather for up to a year or so as can particles from a meteorite impact and also they can affect the weather ie a short term effect rather than the climate.

Answer:

A.Both can cause global cooling.

Explanation:

     According to researchers, the impact of an asteroid and volcanic eruptions probably covered the planet with harmful dust and gases, which could change the climate and caused the early extinction of many species.

    Life on earth would take thousands of years to recover from the devastation.

    "The scenario we suggested, that the impact of the asteroid would cause volcanism, reconciles with the facts we once thought was an unbelievable coincidence," said Mark Richards of the University of California at Berkeley.
