Solution

The correct answer is option (d).

Explanation: From September to November, monsoon winds start retreating. Thus, the weather becomes extreme and is characterised by high heat and humidity. The cyclones arising in the Bay of Bengal cause rainfall in the Coromandel Coast of Tamil Nadu. Hence, Chennai receives most of its rainfall during the retreating monsoon.
