Difficult one - Chambers gives hurt (verb transitive) to cause pain to; to damage; to wound, etc. And for harm: (noun) injury, physical, mental or moral, (verb transitive) to injure, etc.. So on that basis I would go with hurts, but I think they should accept either.
if I had to choose I would go for HARMS because you can hurt something or someone without damaging them. HARM implies more lasting damage. :O)
I flung a coin... Hurts
