Match List-I with List-II and select the correct answer using the code given below the Lists : List-I (Tropical Cyclone) A. Cyclones B. Hurricanes C. Typhoons D. Willy-willies List-II (Location) 1. USA 2. East Asia 3. Australia 4. India Code: A B C D

Tropical cyclones are intense low-pressure systems that are known by different regional names depending on their location. In the Indian Ocean, including the Bay of Bengal and the Arabian Sea, they are simply called 'Cyclones' [3]. In the Atlantic Ocean and the North-Eastern Pacific, particularly affecting the USA and the Caribbean, they are referred to as 'Hurricanes' [5]. In the Western Pacific and South China Sea, impacting East Asian countries like China and Japan, the term 'Typhoons' is used [4]. Finally, in the waters around Australia, specifically North-Western Australia, these storms are traditionally known as 'Willy-willies' [4]. Matching these pairs: A-4 (Cyclones-India), B-1 (Hurricanes-USA), C-2 (Typhoons-East Asia), and D-3 (Willy-willies-Australia) leads to the sequence 4-1-2-3.
