Solution

The correct option is B Warmer wind rises up quickly.
Warmer wind is lighter and more active than cooler wind because of the higher temperature of warmer wind. Due to this, the warmer wind rises quickly from the ground thus creating a low pressure region below. Air from the surrounding rushes to occupy this space which eventually becomes warm. These are some initial stages of a cyclone formation.
