View question detailsTamil Nadu receives a substantial share of its annual rainfall during the retreating or northeast monsoon, mainly in the later part of the year. By that time, the summer monsoon is withdrawing from much of India. Winds moving across the Bay of Bengal collect moisture and bring rain to the southeastern coast, including Tamil Nadu.
Option D is correct because this region has a special rainfall pattern compared with many other parts of India. The southwest monsoon does not provide Tamil Nadu with most of its annual rain, as the state lies partly on the leeward side of the Western Ghats. The hot season, cold waves, and the loo are not the main periods responsible for this rainfall. This is an important monsoon exception.
