Solution

The correct option is B Tamil Nadu
As the winds from the southwest withdraw, the winds from the northeast push inwards and cause rainfall in the east coast of Tamil Nadu during November and December. This is called the Northeast monsoon. This is a special monsoon only experienced in South India during the months of November and December.
