Correct Answer: Hurricane


Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option.

In this context, we are looking for a term that specifically describes a wind phenomenon with a circular movement. Hurricane is a noun used to refer to a severe tropical cyclone or storm with strong winds circulating around a centre of low atmospheric pressure. It precisely fits the description provided.

Therefore, the correct one-word substitute is hurricane.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Drought: This term refers to an extended period of abnormally low rainfall.

  • Deluge: This term refers to a severe flood or a heavy downpour of rain.

  • Tsunami: This term means a series of ocean waves with extremely long wavelengths and high energy.
