Answer: c. proteasome

Explanation:

Proteasomes are extremely important multi-catalytic proteases and are involved in various cellular functions. The proteasome is an essential component of eukaryotic cells and is responsible for the ATP-dependent proteolytic degradation of most cellular proteins. They are present in the nucleus and cytosol and can represent up to 1% of total cell proteins. Proteasomes generally degrade proteins to small peptides, most of which are rapidly hydrolyzed by cytoplasmic exopeptidases. It catalyzes the rapid degradation of many enzymes, regulatory proteins, and eliminates abnormal proteins resulting from mutation or damaged proteins. The inability of this cellular organelle can lead to neurodegenerative diseases, such as Parkinson´s disease.

Hurricanes (also known as typhoons or cyclones, depending on the location on Earth where they form) are often associated with extremely powerful winds and torrential rains. I am not sure about the pressure, but the only option here that mentions both strong winds and a lot of rain is A. low pressure, high winds, high precipitation, so I'd say that is the correct answer.
