18. Which statement best explains why the air in the surroundings moves towards
the eye during the formation of typhoon?

it.
B. Typhoons have normal air pressure in the middle thus, pulling the air
towards it.
C. Typhoons have lower air pressure in the middle thus, pulling the air
towards it.

towards it.
