Answer 1

The correct option is A <!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> High humidity present in our surroundings

We know that evaporation provides a cooling effect. In the case of monsoon season, there is a high amount of humidity or moisture in our surrounding so evaporation is less. That's why the water does not cool properly in earthen pots in Monsoon Season.
