A)
Cyclone Fani
B)
Cyclone Remal
C)
Cyclone Hikka
D)
Cyclone Maha
Step-by-step reasoning: 1. The question asks for the cyclone that affected North East India and Mizoram in May 2024. 2. Cyclone Remal formed in the Bay of Bengal and made landfall on May 26, 2024, primarily affecting West Bengal and Bangladesh. 3. While the center of the storm hit the coast, its outer bands and the associated moisture caused widespread heavy rainfall and flooding across the North Eastern states, including Mizoram, during the last week of May 2024. 4. Analysis of other options: (a) Cyclone Fani occurred in 2019; (c) Cyclone Hikka is not a recorded major storm for this period; (d) Cyclone Maha occurred in 2019. Therefore, Cyclone Remal is the only correct option corresponding to the May 2024 timeline.
