Solution

The correct option is B S2
The Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) located at the equator is a low-pressure zone where trade winds converge. In summer (July), the ITCZ is located around 20-25 degree North latitudes, over the Gangetic plains, sometimes called the monsoon trough. Monsoon trough is not located below ITCZ but is a part of ITCZ. It helps in attracting the southwest monsoon to the Indian subcontinent.
