Solution

The correct option is B South-west monsoon

  • Winds that give maximum rainfall to India are south-west monsoon. These winds bring rains towards the end of the summer due to high pressure built in the Indian Ocean.
  • These monsoon strikes Malabar Coast in the month of June and by November leaves the country. Most of the food production in India depends on these monsoons.
