Solution

The correct option is B Because they are blocked by Himalayan mountains.
The monsoon winds carrying a lot of moisture flow from Arabian Sea approach western coast of India from the south western direction. It enters India and leads to rainfall in major portion of India and then is blocked by Himalayan mountains to move further north to reach Central Asia.
