B) the Coriolis effect
The rotation of a hurricane is caused by the Coriolis effect, which is a result of the Earth's rotation. As the hurricane's winds move towards the center of low pressure, they are deflected to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere, creating the cyclonic rotation of the storm.
