Correct answer: (b) Mercury

Explanation

  1. A

    Pluto

    (a) 3 4 1 2. This gives typhoons to Australia and willy-willies to China, swapping the West Pacific and Australian names.

  2. B

    Mercury

    (b) 3 4 2 1. Baguios–Philippines (3), hurricanes–United States (4), typhoons–China (2), willy-willies–Australia (1). That code is the official key.

Summary. Official key is (b) 3 4 2 1. Same storm, four regional names: baguio (Philippines), hurricane (USA), typhoon (China / West Pacific), willy-willy (Australia).
