The pressure reading of 16 lbs/in^2 is greater than atmospheric pressure, which is around 14.7 lbs/in^2. Therefore, it is impossible for this pressure reading to be taken in the eye of a hurricane, where the pressure is lower than atmospheric pressure. The other pressure readings (B, C, and D) are all within the range of possible pressure readings in the eye of a hurricane.
