    Ai മാത്രം

    Biii മാത്രം

    Ci, ii

    Dii, iii

    Answer:

    B. iii മാത്രം

    Read Explanation:

    • In the Northern Hemisphere, cyclones rotate counterclockwise due to the Coriolis effect.

    • In the Southern Hemisphere, cyclones rotate clockwise for the same reason.

    • The Coriolis effect causes the apparent deflection of moving air and is dependent on the hemisphere, making the direction of cyclone rotation hemisphere-dependent, not independent
