B)a shallow layer of absolutely unstable air
C)a deep layer of conditionally unstable air
D)a deep layer of stable air

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hurricane development requires a deep layer of conditionally unstable air, where warm, moist air near the surface can rise freely and condense into clouds and precipitation. This instability must extend vertically for a significant depth to allow the storm to grow and intensify. A shallow layer of unstable air (either conditionally or absolutely) may result in thunderstorm development, but it typically does not sustain a tropical cyclone. A deep layer of stable air is not favourable for hurricane development as it can inhibit convection and limit the storm's growth.
