Question 1081Navigation General

The correct answer is B) July through October. The peak of the hurricane season in the western North Pacific is during the months of July through October. This is because the warm ocean temperatures and favorable atmospheric conditions in this region are most conducive for the formation and intensification of tropical cyclones, which are the technical term for hurricanes in the western North Pacific. The other answer choices are incorrect because January through March (A) is the off-season for hurricanes in this region, November through December (C) is the transitional period between the peak and off-season, and April through June (D) is the start of the hurricane season, but not the peak.
