Answer:
Choice C is correct: The sentence is correct as it is.
Explanation:
Let us go through each of the answer choices one by one.
Choice A: Hurricanes can cause a lot of damage, because of high winds, rain, and storm surge.
This sentence places inappropriate comma in the underlined region (..damage, because..) which interrupts the flow of the sentence. Thus this choice cannot be correct.
Choice B: Hurricanes can cause a lot of damage because, of high winds, rain, and storm surge.
This sentence places inappropriate comma in the underlined (...because, of...) region which interrupts the flow of the sentence. Thus this choice cannot be correct.
Choice C: The sentence is correct as is.
The original sentence uses comma's in the proper places—it uses them to list the causes of hurricane damage—and therefore it does not needs to be modified, and thus this choice is correct.
