The correct option is B

Indian Meteorological Department


The IMD stands for India Meteorological Department (commonly called Met Department) and was founded in 1875. The IMD is responsible for weather forecasting, pollution monitoring and seismic monitoring. The IMD does an essential job of forecasting rainfall during the monsoon. This helps farmers plan for growing crops and prepare the government for budget and relief planning. The IMD also predicts extreme weather phenomena such as cyclones and droughts. The IMD also assists countries in the Indian Ocean region such as the Gulf States, Myanmar, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia.
