Correct Answer: Sea Surface temperature are low. In South Atlantic and South Eastern Pacific regions located in tropical latitudes, the cyclone will not take place as in these regions the cold current flow which helps in lowering of sea temperature. To have a cyclone, the temperature of the sea should be a minimum of 27 degree Celsius. We see that option B is incorrect as the formation of ITCZ is not needed to have cyclones. Option C is incorrect as Coriolis force results as the weak force that is present in the region having 0 to 5 degrees either North or South latitudes. Option D is invalid as land cuts moisture from the cyclone, so the correct option is A.
