Explanation:

Question 1

Hurricanes bring heavy rainfall, strong winds, and storm surges. Inland flooding occurs due to heavy rain, storm surges are a direct hurricane danger, and tornadoes can form within hurricanes. Droughts are prolonged dry periods, not associated with hurricanes.

Hurricanes form over warm ocean waters (at least 26.5°C) as warm water provides the energy. Wind speeds in the ocean, high pressure zones, or high upper - atmosphere winds don't initiate hurricane season; warm Atlantic waters do.

Answer:

A. droughts
