Answer 1

The correct option is B Mawsynram

<!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> Mawsynram is a place that receives the highest average rainfall in the world. It is located in Meghalaya. It receives the majority of its rainfall from the Bay of Bengal branch of the Indian monsoon. The Bay of Bengal branch carries more moisture to the northeastern states causing heavy rainfall there. As it moves west, it loses moisture resulting in decreased rainfall in the west.
