Answer 1

Answer:

B. ഒന്നും രണ്ടും

Tropical cyclones are distinct from general cyclones due to their origin over warm ocean waters and their specific structure involving a central low-pressure eye surrounded by powerful thunderstorms. Their destructive potential stems from the combination of strong winds, heavy rainfall, and the associated storm surges. These storms are regionally named to facilitate communication and tracking.
