?

Which one of the following statements is correct?
Hurricanes ________

Answer & Solution
Correct Answer: Option C
Only tropical cyclones that form over the Atlantic Ocean or eastern Pacific Ocean are called "hurricanes." Tropical cyclones are like giant engines that use warm, moist air as fuel. That is why they form only over warm ocean waters near the equator. The warm, moist air over the ocean rises upward from near the surface.
