B. microscopes to study things too small to be seen with the human eye would be the least helpful to humans as we deal with natural hazards like hurricanes. While microscopes are valuable for biological and material science research, they do not play a direct role in understanding, predicting, or responding to large-scale natural disasters like hurricanes. In contrast, satellites, computers for modeling, and communication technologies are all crucial for monitoring, predicting, and responding to such events.
