Solution

The correct option is A Thiruvananthapuram & Shillong
Thiruvananthapuram & Shillong
Thiruvananthapuram is on the sea coast and so it receives rainfall from both the southwest and north-east monsoons, besides receiving rainfall due to local disturbances which pick up moisture from the sea. Shillong is in a hilly area and so receives rain from the monsoon as well as from local disturbances which are trapped by the hills.
