Explanation

Tropical cyclones are intense low-pressure systems that are known by different regional names depending on where they originate. Option A (4-3-2-1) correctly matches these names with their respective regions:

  • Willy Willy: This is the traditional name for tropical cyclones in Australia.
  • Baguio: This is a local term used in the Philippines for tropical storms, named after the city of Baguio which receives high rainfall.
  • Typhoons: These are tropical cyclones that form in the Northwest Pacific Ocean, impacting China, Japan, and Southeast Asia.

These regional nomenclatures are standard classifications in physical geography and climatology.
