A

Explanation:

The eye of the hurricane impacts the most damage. This is because the eyewall has the highest wind speeds and also the low pressure of the eye rips apart buildings. The eye weakens as it moves across the land after landfall due to more friction with the land. The hurricane leaves behind a storm surge on the coastal areas.
