The correct option is A northeast monsoon
The coast of Tamil Nadu is often hit by the cyclones caused due to the northeast monsoon. The northeast monsoon is caused due to the high-pressure area created over Central Asia and the low-pressure area created over the Bay of Bengal. This low-pressure area is the leading cause of cyclones and rainfall in Tamil Nadu.
