Solution

The correct option is A

eye


The center of the cyclone is known as an eye. The eye is a region of mostly calm weather which is at the center of strong tropical cyclones. It is a roughly circular area, typically 30–65 km (20–40 miles) in diameter. Eye is surrounded by the eyewall, which is a ring of towering thunderstorms where the most severe weather occurs.
