The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

Concept:
Cyclonic systems are classified according to increasing wind speed and destructive power.


Step 1:
Tropical Depression has the lowest wind speed among the given options. \[ E \text{ comes first} \]


Step 2:
Tropical Storm is stronger than Tropical Depression. \[ D \text{ comes next} \]


Step 3:
Hurricanes and Typhoons are intense tropical cyclones occurring in different oceanic regions. \[ C \rightarrow B \]


Step 4:
Tornado generally has the highest wind speed and destructive intensity. \[ A \text{ comes last} \]


Step 5:
Final order: \[ E \rightarrow D \rightarrow C \rightarrow B \rightarrow A \] \[ \boxed{\text{(4) E-D-C-B-A}} \]
