Solution

The correct option is C southwest
The monsoon winds that carry a lot of water to India come from the southwest direction.
The monsoon is caused by differential temperature trends over the land and ocean. In India, the southwest summer monsoon is attracted by a low-pressure area that's caused by the extreme heat of the Thar Desert and adjoining areas, during summer. After the monsoon season is over, the wind direction reverses.
