The correct answer is b, the Coriolis effect. Hurricanes rotate because of the Coriolis effect, which causes objects moving freely over the surface of the Earth to turn to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere. The Coriolis effect is a result of the Earth's rotation and the inertia of moving objects on its surface. It plays a critical role in the formation and behavior of hurricanes, which are low-pressure systems that rely on atmospheric circulation to sustain themselves.
