Solution

The correct option is C Both Statement A and B are correct.
El Nino is a name given to the periodical development of warm ocean currents along the coast of Peru. It occurs as a temporary replacement of the cold Peruvian current. It is associated with lower than normal monsoons in India. This is because it affects the flow of moisture-bearing winds from the cooler oceans towards India. Thus, it negatively impacts the summer monsoons.
