Both A and B

AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) Both A and B. The left half of a storm's track is called the navigable semicircle because: 1) The wind tends to blow vessels away from the storm's track in this semicircle, making it safer for navigation. 2) The wind speed is also decreased by the storm's forward motion in this semicircle, further enhancing navigability. Options A and B are both correct explanations for why the left half of the storm is considered the navigable semicircle. The other options, A) and D), are incorrect as they do not fully capture the reasons behind this designation.
