AI Explanation
You are correct, the answer B) August, September and October is the correct answer.
The peak hurricane season in the North Atlantic Ocean, which includes the Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea, and Gulf of Mexico, occurs during the months of August, September, and October. This is the time of year when the ocean temperatures are warmest, providing the necessary energy to fuel the development and intensification of tropical cyclones, including hurricanes.
The other answer choices are incorrect because April, May, and June (A) are outside the peak hurricane season, July, November, and December (C) are either before or after the peak season, and January, February, and March (D) are well outside the typical North Atlantic hurricane season.
