Solution

The explanation for the correct option:

Option(A) calm and cloudless

  • The eye of a cyclone is a region of mostly calm weather at the center of strong cyclones.
  • It is a roughly circular area, typically 30–60 kilometers in diameter. It is surrounded by severe weather and high-speed winds.
  • It is surrounded by the eyewall, a ring of towering thunderstorms where the most severe weather and highest winds occur.
  • The eye is characterized by light winds and clear skies.

Hence, Option(A) calm and cloudless is the correct option
