Which statement correctly describes India's rainfall diversity?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: India has both very high and very low rainfall regions

The direct answer is A: India contains both regions of extremely high rainfall and regions of very low rainfall. Rainfall varies because of distance from the sea, the direction of monsoon winds, mountain barriers, windward and leeward slopes, latitude, and local relief. Meghalaya is a well-known example of very heavy rainfall, while Ladakh is a cold, dry rain-shadow region with very little precipitation. Option A is correct because it summarizes this wide geographic contrast. Option B is wrong because rainfall is not equal across India; nearby regions may also differ because of relief. Option C is wrong because India receives rain mainly from the summer monsoon, but rainfall is not limited to January; some areas also receive winter or other seasonal rain. Option D is wrong because moisture from surrounding seas, especially the Arabian Sea and Bay of Bengal, is essential to the monsoon. Memory cue: India’s rainfall map has both “very wet” and “very dry” extremes.
