Solution

The correct option is A Both statements are false.
A cyclone is formed by a very low-pressure system with very high-speed winds revolving around it. The centre of a cyclone is a calm area. It is called the eye of the storm.

The whole coastline of India is vulnerable to cyclones, particularly the east coast. The west coast of India is less vulnerable to cyclonic storms both in terms of intensity and frequency of the cyclones.

Thus both the statements are false only.
