Sentence Correction (SC) | Re: Hurricanes at first begin traveling from east to west, because that di

No.

In this case, "that" refers to "from east to west," which is not a noun.

The sentence takes the liberty of referring to "from east to west" using "that" because "from east to west" is a direction. Notice that we could say, "From east to west is the direction in which it traveled," using "from east to west" as the subject of the sentence.

So, the question writer considered "from east to west" a thing and referred to it using "that" to create a sentence version that's better than the others, though not ideal. So, we go with (B) because the sentence it produces is the best one rather than a perfect one.
