D. A higher-than-average rainfall due to an unseasonable hurricane that month.
This is an example of an outlier in the data set because it represents an event that is unusual or exceptional compared to the typical patterns observed in the average daily rainfall for that month based on historical data. The unseasonable hurricane would significantly skew the rainfall data beyond the expected range, making it an outlier.
