Solution

The correct option is C north-west India to Bay of Bengal
The retreating monsoon withdraws itself from North-West India to Bengal and then to South India. When the retreating monsoon blows from the northeast across the Bay of Bengal, it picks up a significant amount of moisture, which is subsequently released after moving back onto the eastern coast of south India.
