Solution
The correct option is C Southwest Monsoon winds
The pressure difference and low-pressure zone of the monsoon trough over the Ganga plains attract the southeast trade winds from the Southern Hemisphere. These winds cross the equator and start moving towards the Indian subcontinent, entering from the southwest direction. They pick up moisture from the Indian Ocean and cause rainfall in the Indian subcontinent.
