Solution

The correct option is C Western ghats
The Western Ghats,
The western coast of India receives very high rainfall in summer mainly due to the Western Ghats. Due to the greater width of the mountains, the rain-bearing winds have to necessarily travel a longer distance and have more time for the drops to coalesce and precipitate as rainfall, resulting in higher rainfall. The rainfall is of the Orographic type.
