Answer
A
Typhoon effect
B
Coriolis effect

The Coriolis effect, caused by Earth’s rotation, deflects moving air and helps give hurricanes their rotating motion. The correct choice is Coriolis effect. “Typhoon” and “cyclone” are names for types of tropical storms, not the force that creates their spin.
