D
They are the strongest storms on Earth.

Explanation

The correct statement is that about 75 percent of the world’s tornadoes occur in the United States. Tornadoes are not a very common feature of thunderstorms, and their main danger comes from powerful winds and flying debris—not heavy rain. They are also not considered the strongest storms on Earth.
