All of the above

Bay of Bengal being a closed and a smaller water body, it has higher surface temperature compared to Arabian sea.
North Western region of Pacific ocean has the highest proportion of global tropical cyclones.
These cyclones which originate in the Pacific ocean start moving towards south western direction and finally reach Bay of Bengal.
But by the time they reach, they almost lose their energy and only remnants of cyclones reach Bay of Bengal.
Similarly the cyclones originated in Bay of Bengal reach Arabian sea but only remnants of cyclones after hedding their energy while traversing over the peninsular landmass.
