Which combination is correctly matched with its principal disaster-monitoring role in India ?
IMD — Cyclones; CWC — Floods; INCOIS — Tsunamis
Each of the three agencies named has one clearly defined hazard it tracks, so the combination can be settled by matching agency to mandate.
| Agency | Hazard it monitors |
| India Meteorological Department (IMD) | Cyclones and severe weather |
| Central Water Commission (CWC) | Floods and river flows |
| Indian National Centre for Ocean Information Services (INCOIS) | Tsunamis and ocean states |
The IMD runs the cyclone warning centres and is the WMO-designated regional centre for the north Indian Ocean. The CWC operates the flood-forecasting network on major river basins. INCOIS at Hyderabad hosts the Indian Tsunami Early Warning Centre, which issues bulletins for the Indian Ocean rim.
The remaining combinations misassign these roles, for example giving cyclones to the CWC or earthquakes to the IMD's counterparts, whereas earthquake monitoring is itself done by the National Centre for Seismology.
Hence, the correct combination is IMD — Cyclones; CWC — Floods; INCOIS — Tsunamis.
