B

C

D
On the south side
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) To the left of the storm's track. In the Southern Hemisphere, the dangerous semicircle of a hurricane is located to the left of the storm's track. This is due to the counterclockwise rotation of hurricanes in the Southern Hemisphere, which causes stronger winds, higher seas, and more hazardous conditions on the left side of the storm's path. The other options are incorrect because: B) The high pressure area is not the dangerous semicircle, C) The dangerous semicircle is on the left side, not the right, and D) The dangerous semicircle is not on the south side, but rather to the left of the storm's track.
