The answer is D. d. Event 4 may cause a hurricane and Event 2 may cause a tornado.

Event 4, the difference in pressure cause by this will resulted in the air to start moving uncontrollably, which ending up in Hurricane

Event 2, this will create energy needed for thunderstorm to be formed which could lead to Tornado
