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.
