This question was previously asked in
RRB NTPC 2019 CBT 1 Question Paper PDF (31-Jan-2021) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

Cyclone Pabuk

Cyclone Pabuk is correct.

Pabuk formed over the Gulf of Thailand (South China Sea) at the very end of December 2018 and struck southern Thailand in early January 2019 as a tropical storm, the first named storm of the 2019 season.

It then crossed into the Andaman Sea and the Bay of Bengal. Cyclone Gaja (2018) hit Tamil Nadu, while Luban and Mekunu (2018) formed in the Arabian Sea, so none of them originated in the Gulf of Thailand.
