Which condition exists in the eye of a hurricane?
Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option C — An extremely low barometric pressure
The eye of a hurricane is the area of lowest pressure and relative calm. While the surrounding eyewall contains the most intense winds and precipitation, the eye itself is characterized by light winds, clearing skies, and significantly lower barometric pressure compared to the surrounding storm environment.
