Well,

We call something damaging when it affects us humans.  In that sense, then, hurricanes that occur far away from the coastlines would not be considered "damaging."

Option A would not support the argument.
Option D would not support the argument either.

We know that hurricanes cause flooding (because they occur near the coastlines) and that they are (hundreds of times) bigger than tornadoes, so Option B is correct.

A tornado lasts a few hours, and affects people and things in an area that's
a few hundred yards wide and maybe a few tens of miles long.

A hurricane lasts weeks, and can affect people and things in an area that's
a few hundred miles across and a few thousand miles long.

The hurricane is the tortoise to the tornado's hare.
