• A. Presence of orographic features
• B. Presence of rivers
• C. Distance from the sea

Answer 1

The correct option is B Presence of rivers

• The south-west monsoon season is characterised by rainfall across the country and this is influenced by following aspects.
  
• Presence of orographic features like mountains and hills.
  
• Distance from the sea because monsoons arise from such water bodies.
  
• Presence of peninsular in the south which means India is surrounded by water bodies on three sides which is responsible for monsoon showers.
  
• Presence of rivers do not affect monsoon winds.
