How can the climatic role of the Himalaya be understood as a dual effect?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: It blocks cold winds and influences monsoon rainfall

Correct answer: A. The Himalaya has two important climatic effects for the Indian subcontinent. First, its high mountain barrier obstructs the entry of very cold continental winds from the north during winter, helping protect much of the region from their direct influence. Second, the range acts as a barrier to moisture-bearing monsoon winds; by forcing air to rise, it helps produce rainfall over and near the subcontinent and prevents much of the moisture from passing directly northward. A correctly combines these temperature and rainfall effects. B is wrong because the Himalaya does not block sunlight or dry the sea. C is wrong because mountains do not change latitude or end all winds. D is wrong because the statement assigns unrelated effects and claims that deserts are removed. Cue: the Himalaya is both a cold-wind barrier and a monsoon-rainfall barrier.
