This is a tricky one 
.
First off, let's start with the parallelism. 'The data...useful for 'Verb-ing' A & B, not C & D.' Notice how answer choice (A) places the preposition 'for' in front of C & D. We would only require the 'for' if there were a second verb. 'Gauging', however, refers to both sets of verbs. Thus, we can eliminate (A), (B), and (E). As for (D), notice 'their'. We are talking about a hurricane, which is singular, so 'its' is correct.
