Solution

The correct option is C Western cyclonic disturbances
Western Cyclonic Disturbances are the temperate cyclones which originate over the Mediterranean Sea and Western Asia and move into India along with the westerly flow of jet streams. By causing cyclonic rains over the plains and snowfall in the mountains they disturb the quiet weather condition of the north and north-west India also responsible for the rainfall in the months of winter in Northern India.
