Solution

The correct option is A Rajasthan

  • Rajasthan receives scanty rainfall. The two main reasons are:
  • Southeast monsoon arising from the Bay of Bengal loses its moisture by the time it reaches the north-western part of India where Rajasthan is located.
  • And the southwest monsoon arising from the Arabian sea flows parallel to the Aravalli mountains and reach the northeast part of India.
