Which one of the following may be the true characteristic of cyclones?

The movement of cyclones is primarily governed by the prevailing wind systems of their respective latitudes. Temperate cyclones, which develop in the mid-latitudes (35° to 65°), move from west to east under the influence of the prevailing westerlies [5]. In contrast, tropical cyclones generally follow the trade winds, often moving from east to west before potentially recurving [5]. Option 2 is incorrect because the 'eye' is the calm, central region of a tropical cyclone, not its front side [4]. Option 3 is incorrect because all cyclones are characterized by a low-pressure center surrounded by closed isobars, not high pressure [1]. Option 4 is incorrect because hurricanes are tropical cyclones that originate over tropical oceans, whereas mid-latitude systems are classified as temperate or extratropical cyclones [4].
