C. The eye of the cyclone

The figure shows the satellite image of a cyclone.

The region with the slowest winds is usually where the cyclone's eye is located. A cyclone's eye is the centre, a circular region of calm weather. An eyewall is the most hazardous and destructive component of a tropical storm. Here, winds are highest, rainfall is most abundant, and deep convective clouds rise to a height of 15,000 metres from the Earth's surface (49,000 feet).
The fundamental factor causing wind motions is uneven heating on the soil. Rain is brought by winds carrying water vapour. Cyclones can be brought on by strong winds and a difference in air pressure. With the aid of cutting-edge technology like satellites and radars, cyclone monitoring has gotten simpler.
The wind speed is at its highest within the eye wall, while inside the eye, the winds become quite light and occasionally almost calm. The eye's centre, which has the lowest pressure, is where the surface pressure continues to decrease after passing through the eye wall.
As the pressure gradient (i.e., change in pressure) increases, so does the wind speed at that place. This means that the speed of the wind is directly proportional to the pressure gradient.
