Solution

The correct option is A North-east trade winds

Tamil Nadu receives most of its rain from the north-east trade winds during the winter season. Moreover, many low-pressure systems develop in the Bay of Bengal during this period and move towards the east coast of Tamil Nadu causing heavy rainfall.
