The eye of the cyclone is characterized by a dramatic drop in pressure and a sudden change in wind direction. Judging by the chart, the drop in pressure is observed at around midnight on March 2, meaning that the eye passed over the station just after midnight on March 2. Therefore, the best choice is B.
