The correct answer is B. Hurricane

Step-by-step explanation:

Hurricanes occur as winds and water from a storm rotate at high speed forming a massive rotating spiral. Due to this, if they are observed using weather satellites these are spirals with a hollow center known as the eye. Moreover, hurricanes differ from tornadoes, which have a similar structure, because hurricanes form in the ocean, although they can move and reach the land. According to this, the image presented is a hurricane because this is located in the Atlantic ocean and has a spiral shape with an eye.
