Which geographical conclusion is correct from the rain-shadow effect of the Western Ghats?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Western slopes are wetter and the interior Deccan may be relatively drier

The correct conclusion is that the western slopes are wetter while the interior Deccan may be relatively drier. Moisture-laden southwest monsoon winds from the Arabian Sea rise when they meet the Western Ghats. The air cools, condenses, and produces heavy orographic rainfall on the windward western slopes. After crossing the crest, the air contains less moisture, so the leeward side lies in a rain-shadow zone and generally receives less rainfall. This helps explain drier areas of the Deccan interior. The effect does not cause snowfall across India, submerge the Eastern Ghats, or transform the ancient Aravalli into a young fold range.
