  2. B.Puri✓ Correct
  3. C.Mumbai

Explanation

Puri, located on the eastern coast of India in Odisha along the Bay of Bengal, is most prone to cyclones. The Bay of Bengal generates more frequent and intense cyclones than the Arabian Sea due to warmer waters, lower wind shear, and favorable atmospheric conditions. Porbandar, Mumbai, and Goa are on the western coast (Arabian Sea), which experiences fewer cyclones. Puri has been struck by many devastating cyclones historically.
