Explanation by: Admin

Let’s analyze each option:

(A) New Moore Island – India:
New Moore Island (also called South Talpatti) was a disputed territory between India and Bangladesh, and it was claimed by India, so this is correct.

(B) Hurricane – China Sea:
This is incorrect. In the China Sea, such tropical storms are called typhoons, not hurricanes.
Hurricanes occur in the Atlantic Ocean and Northeast Pacific.
Typhoons occur in the Northwest Pacific, including the China Sea.
So, this pair is not correct.

(C) Doldrums – The equator:
The Doldrums refer to a low-pressure area around the equator with calm winds – this is correct.

(D) Trade winds – Winds which blow towards the equator:
Trade winds blow from subtropical high-pressure areas towards the equatorial low-pressure belt – this is also correct.

Therefore, the incorrect pair is: (B) Hurricane – China Sea.
