C 1 3 2 4
D 2 3 1 4

Correct answer: (d) 2 3 1 4

Explanation

  1. A

    3 4 1 2

    Code 3 4 1 2 would give Willy-willies to Japan and Taifu to the USA. Willy-willies are Australian; the code is wrong.

  2. B

    2 3 4 1

    2 3 4 1 assigns Baguio to the USA and hurricanes to the Philippines. Baguio is the Philippine name; hurricanes are Atlantic/USA.

  3. C

    1 3 2 4

    1 3 2 4 gives Willy-willies to the Philippines and Baguio to Australia — swapped.

  4. D

    2 3 1 4

    Willy-willies — Australia (2); Taifu — Japan (3); Baguio — Philippines (1); Hurricanes — USA (4). Code 2 3 1 4 is the official key.

Summary. Official key is (d) 2 3 1 4. Regional names: willy-willy (Australia), taifu (Japan), baguio (Philippines), hurricane (USA/Atlantic).
