Blizzards.

Explanation:

Blizzards can be defined as a natural hazard that occurs due to heavy snowfall. It is characterized by low or cold temperatures and heavy drifting of snow. During blizzards, the visibility becomes less and the wind speed of the snowstorms exceeds 35 mph. Blizzards happen to occur during whiteouts and snowdrifts also.

The natural hazard that the text above is speaking of is blizzards. Since during blizzards visibility becomes less, the transportation gets affected mostly because of it.

So, the correct answer is blizzards.
