Solution

The correct option is B Apparent movement of the Sun
<!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> During the months of October and November, owing to the apparent movement of the Sun towards the south, the ITCZ also shifts southward. The low pressure area over the Indian subcontinent becomes weaker. This pressure difference makes the monsoon disappear from the Indian subcontinent.
