Solution

The correct option is B Summer monsoon winds
Summer monsoon winds bring rainfall to South Asia as they start over oceans. Winter monsoon winds, on the other hand, start over land and are dry. Westerlies are high speed winds that run at high altitudes. Although, they can cause rain, but not too much.
