The correct response is:
**lower central air pressure**
Hurricanes increase in strength when there is lower central air pressure, as this allows for stronger winds and more intense storm conditions. Warmer water temperatures also contribute to their intensification, but among the options provided, "lower central air pressure" is the best choice.
