Answer:

it's 4

A huge, destructive swell of water produced by a hurricane.

Step-by-step explanation:

Storm surge is caused primarily by the strong winds in a hurricane or tropical storm. The low pressure of the storm has minimal contribution! The wind circulation around the eye of a hurricane (left above) blows on the ocean surface and produces a vertical circulation in the ocean (right above).

hope it helps :)❤
