Solution

The correct option is D June to September
The monsoon winds cover almost all parts of the country. The south-west monsoon winds blow from June to September. After September, due to the apparent motion of the sun towards the Southern Hemisphere, the low-pressure zone in the Indian subcontinent withdraws gradually, and Southwest monsoon winds are replaced.
