Solution

The correct option is C drought
A flood is an overflow of water that submerges land that is usually dry. Usually, the term monsoon is used to refer to the rainy phase of a seasonally changing pattern, although technically there is also a dry phase.
A drought is a period of below-average precipitation in a given region, resulting in prolonged shortages in the water supply, whether atmospheric, surface water or ground water.
An interchange of air between the land and oceans due to unequal heating and cooling of continents and oceans is known as monsoon winds.
