Answer : Option D
Explanation :
Calm conditions return when the eye of the cyclone arrives is not associated with the tropical cyclones. It is actually the calmest section of any hurricane. The coriolis force deflects the wind slightly away from the center, causing the wind to rotate around the center of the hurricane (the eye wall), leaving the exact center (the eye) calm.
