Solution
The correct option is B Decreases
These Monsoons being the branch of Bay of Bengal Monsoon
move westwards along the Himalayas. These monsoon winds on moving away to
western part of country gradually lose moisture causing less rainfall. Hence
rainfall decreases from west to east. The inflow of the south-west monsoon into
India is such that the windward side of the Western Ghats receives very heavy
rainfall, more than 250 cm. The rain shadow region receives scanty rainfall and
the moisture laden clouds shed the maximum rainfall of this season in the
north-eastern part of the country.
