What gives the Khasi Hills of Meghalaya climatic importance?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Presence of very high rainfall places

Option A is correct because the Khasi Hills are famous for exceptionally heavy monsoon rainfall, especially around Mawsynram and Cherrapunji in Meghalaya. Moisture-laden winds from the Bay of Bengal are forced to rise when they meet the hills. As the air rises, it cools, condensation occurs, and very heavy orographic rain falls on the windward slopes. This relief-related rainfall gives the Khasi Hills special climatic importance. The region is not a completely dry desert, a glacial plain, or a black-soil cotton belt. Those alternatives describe other environments and do not explain Meghalaya's well-known rainfall pattern. Hence, the presence of very high-rainfall locations makes A the only suitable answer.
