• A. Cyclone alert, cyclone warning
• B. Cyclone warning, cyclone alert
• C. Cyclone warning, cyclone watch
• D. Both of the warnings are issued simultaneously

A Cyclone alert or Cyclone watch is issued 48 hours in advance of any expected storm and a Cyclone warning is issued 24 hrs in advance.

So cyclone warning is after cyclone alert.
