Solution
The correct option is A moderate Rainfall South-east Asia, Central and Southern China, the Philippines, Japan, northern parts of India are the regions of Moderate Rainfall.
It is a vast region in southern and southeastern Asia encompassing nearly all the territory north of 10° north and south of the Tropic of Cancer—from the Indus-Ganga lowlands to the Indo-Chinese peninsula (Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos) and Myanmar and Thailand.
The North Indian plains are practically tropical in climate although they actually lie in the Temperate Zone. Typically monsoonal conditions—seasonal reversal of wind systems and associated rainfall regimes—prevail.
It is important to emphasize here that the summer monsoons in India owe their origin to the pressure and wind systems in the equatorial zone. During summer the southeast winds are sucked to the low-pressure area in western India and the moist winds from the Indian Ocean cause the onset of rain bearing summer monsoons.
