Solution

The correct option is C Between the Tropic of Capricorn and the Equator
During January February, the Northern Hemisphere faces away from the Sun, and the vertical rays of the Sun fall between the Tropic of Capricorn and the Equator. Tamil Nadu is near the Equator and receives slant rays of the Sun, leading to cold weather in India.
