Solution
The correct option is D Andhra Pradesh
The correct answer is option(B).
A cyclone is a large-scale system of winds that spiral in toward a region of low atmospheric pressure. Cyclones are centred on areas of low atmospheric pressure, usually over warm ocean waters near the equator. The warm moist air over the ocean rises from the surface in the upward direction, resulting in the formation of the low-pressure zone over the surface.This leads to formation of cyclone.
As Andhra Pradesh is nearest to the sea coast line among all the above mentioned states so there are more chances of this state being hit by a cyclone.
