The correct response that explains the seasonal variation in the number of hurricanes that form in the Atlantic is:
B. Hurricanes derive their energy from heat.
Hurricanes typically form over warm ocean waters, which provide the necessary heat and moisture. The Atlantic hurricane season generally peaks during the warmer months when sea surface temperatures are highest, allowing for more frequent and intense hurricane formation.
