Solution

The correct option is C Trade winds
Trade winds prevail in the southern hemisphere. These south-east trade winds after crossing the equator are deflected towards the right because of the Coriolis force and reach the west coast as South-West Monsoon. These winds bring heavy rainfall accompanied by heavy rainfall and violent thunder and lightning.
