Question 692Navigation General

The correct answer is C) Huge waves approaching from all directions, clearing skies, light winds, and an extremely low barometer. This is the correct answer because as the eye of a storm passes over a vessel's position, the conditions will include large, chaotic waves from multiple directions due to the storm circulation, clearing skies as the center of the storm passes overhead, light winds as the vessel is in the relatively calm eye, and an extremely low barometer pressure reading, which is the defining characteristic of the storm's center. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the conditions in the eye of the storm. Flat calm seas, heavy rain, and high pressure (A) would be more indicative of the conditions before the storm's arrival. Huge waves, clearing skies, and high pressure (B) would be more typical of the conditions after the storm's center has passed.
