• C. A cyclone is formed by a very high-pressure system with very high-speed winds revolving around it.
• D. The coastline of India is not vulnerable to cyclones.

Answer 1

The correct option is A

During the night, the wind blows from the land to the ocean.

During the night, the winds flow from the land to ocean and this is called a land breeze.

During the daytime, the winds flow from the ocean to land and this is called a sea breeze.

A cyclone is formed by a very low-pressure system with very high-speed winds revolving around it. This low-pressure area is called the eye of the cyclone.

The coastline of India is very vulnerable to cyclones.

So, the only correct statement is: During the night, the winds flow from the land to the ocean.
