Solution

The correct option is C

Odisha


The Bay of Bengal has a higher density of cyclone paths than the Arabian Sea. In fact, most of the cyclones that occur in India usually are in the Bay of Bengal. Among the given states, only Odisha is near the Bay of Bengal and is thus more likely to get cyclones than any other state of India.
Other states/union territories with high possibility of cyclones are Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Puducherry, West Bengal and the Andaman and Nicobar Islands.
