C
An extremely low barometric pressure
D
Wind rapidly changing direction
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) An extremely low barometric pressure. The eye of a hurricane is characterized by an extremely low barometric pressure, which is the defining feature of the hurricane's center. This low pressure is what drives the strong winds and weather patterns around the hurricane. The other answer choices, while related to hurricanes, do not specifically describe the conditions within the eye itself.
