{'tropical cyclone': [0, 1, 1, 3], 'coriolis force': [0, 0, 0, 2], 'middle latitudinal region': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'warm oceanic surface': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'air condition': [0, 0, 0, 1]}

The correct answer is option 2: 1, 2 and 4.

Let`s dissect each option to better understand why option 2 is correct and the other options are not:

1. Option 1 states that a tropical cyclone originates and develops over warm oceanic surfaces. This statement is correct. Tropical cyclones derive their energy from warm ocean temperatures, and they typically form in tropical regions.

2. Option 2 states that the presence of Coriolis force is necessary for a tropical cyclone. This statement is correct. The Coriolis force is responsible for the rotation of the cyclone, and without it, the cyclone would not develop the characteristic spinning motion.

3. Option 3 states that tropical cyclones occur in middle latitudinal regions. This statement is incorrect. While middle latitudinal regions may experience other types of cyclones, tropical cyclones specifically occur in tropical regions.

4. Option 4 states that a tropical cyclone develops an "eye" with calm and descending air conditions. This statement is correct. The eye of a tropical cyclone is a region of relatively calm weather and descending air, surrounded by the eyewall where the highest wind speeds occur.

In summary, option 2 is the correct answer as
