Final answer:
A derecho is the correct term for a rapidly propagating family of destructive straight-line downbursts, different from the rotational damage caused by tornadoes. Hence, the correct answer is option (c).
Step-by-step explanation:
The correct answer to the question is c) Derecho. A derecho is a large-scale, long-lived wind storm associated with a band of rapidly moving showers or thunderstorms. Although a derecho can produce destruction similar to that of tornadoes, the damage typically is directed in one direction along a relatively straight swath. As a result, the term "straight-line wind damage" sometimes is used to describe derecho damage.
By contrast, tornadoes typically have a narrower path of destruction and produce winds that can exceed 500 km/h, along with a rotational motion that can uplift objects and even pierce tree trunks with debris like straw.
