Solution
The correct option is C Siberian cold wind
The Siberian cold wind from Central Asia is blocked by the Himalayas from entering India, thus keeping India relatively warmer. Himalayas not only act as a barrier to the cold wind from entering India but also acted as a physical barrier for attackers and invaders from entering India from the north.
The mistral is a strong, cold, northwesterly wind that blows from southern France into the Gulf of Lion in the northern Mediterranean. Chinook is a wind from North America and Pampero is a wind prevalent in South America.
