Solution

The correct option is A two
India actually has two monsoons – the southwest monsoon and the northeast monsoon. The southwest monsoon, which is the main monsoon, comes in from the sea and starts making its way up India’s west coast in early June. The northeast monsoon affects India’s east coast during November and December. It’s a short but intense monsoon.
