Which of the following two States are prone to cyclones during retreating Monsoon season?
Options:
A .  Punjab and Haryana
B .  Andhra Pradesh and Orissa
C .  Karnataka and Kerala
D .  Bihar and Assam
Answer: Option B
Answer: (b)
The retreat of the Monsoon which generally occurs between September and November brings with it another peak in cyclone origination, noted for its predilection toward violent cyclone strikes.
The cyclones develop in the Bay of Bengal and move from the northeast to the southwest, causing heavy rainfall and loss of life and property in Andhra Pradesh, Odisha and West Bengal. Tamil Nadu receives heavy rainfall from these winds as the retreating monsoon winds are moisture-laden.
