Solution

The correct option is D North-East monsoons
North-East monsoon winds cause rainfall in Tamil Nadu. Before entering the Coramandal coast of Tamil Nadu, these winds blow over Bay of Bengal. These winds pick up moisture from Bay of Bengal and cause rainfall in Tamil Nadu. Rainfall in Tamil Nadu is also caused by the cyclones formed over Bay of Bengal.
