Solution

The correct option is B Tamil Nadu
Most parts of India get, rainfall from South-west Monsoons with the exception of Tamil Nadu.
Tamil nadu lies on the leeward side for the southwest monsoon winds and receives lesser rainfall. Once the monsoon starts retreating after mid- September, North east monsoon sets in during mid-October. Tamil Nadu lies on the windward side for these winds and hence gets more rainfall during the winter season.
