Solution

The correct option is A Only 1 and 2
Large and continuous supply of warm and moist air is the most important condition for formation of tropical cyclone. Where coriolis force is zero (like equator), tropical cyclones do not develop. An upper level outflow of air (and not inflow) helps in formation of tropical cyclone.
