Solution
The correct option is B Retreating monsoons
When the retreating
monsoon blows from the northeast across the Bay of Bengal, it picks up a
significant amount of moisture, which is subsequently released after moving
back onto the peninsula. Thus, from October to December the coast of Tamil
Nadu state receives at least half of its roughly 40 inches (1,000 mm) of
annual precipitation. That rainy extension of the generally dry retreating
monsoon is called the northeast, or winter monsoon.
