Solution
The correct option is D Sun's heat
Tropical region is the region of the Earth surrounding the equator. Sun heats the water surface in the tropical zone. The change in temperature causes movement of air. The warm air rises causing an area of lower air pressure below. Air from surrounding areas of high air pressure pushes into the low pressure area. Then this “new” air becomes warm and rises too. In this way a tropical cyclone is formed.
