B Correct answer
Explanation

Tropical Storm Arthur was the first tropical cyclone of the 2008 Atlantic hurricane season. It formed in late May 2008 and caused significant flooding and damage in southern Belize and parts of Mexico. 'Fengshen' and 'Ike' were also 2008 storms but affected different regions (Philippines and Caribbean/US respectively). A tsunami is not a tropical storm but a seismic ocean wave.
