Explanation:

To determine the deadliest aspect of a hurricane, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Tornadoes can be spawned by hurricanes but are not the deadliest overall aspect.
• Option B: Storm surge, which is the abnormal rise of water generated by a hurricane, causes significant coastal flooding and destruction, and is generally considered the deadliest due to its ability to inundate large areas, destroy structures, and displace populations, leading to high casualties.
• Option C: High winds cause damage but are less deadly than storm surge in terms of overall impact on human life.
• Option D: Inland flooding is dangerous but storm surge has historically caused more fatalities in hurricane events.

B. Storm surge
