Solution

The correct option is C northeast trade winds
The northeast trade winds replace the monsoon winds. By November, the low-pressure area moves over Karnataka and Tamil Nadu and by mid-December, it completely leaves the Indian Peninsula. By this time, the southwest monsoon winds disappear and are completely replaced by the northeast trade winds. The period of transition is called the Retreating or Post Monsoon Season.
