Why are the Khasi Hills important in Indian climate study?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: They contain very high rainfall places

The governing concept is the effect of relief on monsoon rainfall. The Khasi Hills in Meghalaya lie in the path of moisture-laden winds from the Bay of Bengal. Their orientation and steep relief help force the air to rise, cool, and condense, producing exceptionally heavy orographic rainfall in nearby places such as Cherrapunji and Mawsynram. Thus option A is correct and connects the hills with one of India’s highest-rainfall zones. Option B is wrong because the Khasi Hills are not a completely glacial environment. Option C describes a soil-and-crop association found elsewhere, not the chief climatic importance of these hills. Option D refers to coral landforms, which are unrelated to the rainfall mechanism here.
