In this task, you're given a question, a context passage, and four options which are terms from the passage. After reading a passage, you will get a brief understanding of the terms. Your job is to determine by searching and reading further information of which term you can answer the question. Indicate your choice as 'a', 'b', 'c', or 'd'. If you think more than one option is plausible, choose the more probable option to help you answer the question.
Q: Question: Which city had a bigger population in 2013? Passage:Tropical cyclones - known depending on location as cyclones, hurricanes or typhoons - with their precipitation, storm surges and winds are highly destructive and deadly phenomena; the 1900 Galveston hurricane claimed over 8,000 fatalities and was the worst natural disaster in United States history, while Hurricane Katrina in 2005 became the costliest hurricane in United States history with over 80 billion dollars damage and over 1600 fatalities. In other parts of the world, a 1970 cyclone killed 300,000 in Bangladesh; Japan in 2004 was hit by 10 typhoons and in 2005 five separate cyclones hit the Cook Islands in a short timeframe; a year later records were broken by Typhoon Saomai in China and Cyclone Larry in Australia. Finally, in 2013 Typhoon Haiyan became one of the most intense tropical cyclones ever recorded and caused 6,000 fatalities in the Philippines. Further, increased coastal development in general and in the United States rapid population growth along hurricane-prone coasts is creating additional attention to the danger posed by tropical cyclones and the interest in the hazard existing for major cities like Miami and New Orleans. Tropical cyclones can also have positive effects on society, for example by bringing rain to drought-prone regions. Finally, there is increasing evidence that tropical cyclone influence the climate themselves by enhancing poleward heat transport.
