Answer 1

Answer:

D. ഒന്നും മൂന്നും

The highest categories in India's classification, 'Very Severe Cyclonic Storm' and 'Super Cyclone', represent the most dangerous storms with extreme destructive potential. These categories are associated with widespread damage to infrastructure, massive storm surges, and extensive flooding. The classification guides disaster management agencies in deploying resources and evacuating vulnerable populations.
