Why is the south-west monsoon called a rain-bearing wind?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because it brings moisture from the sea

The south-west monsoon is called a rain-bearing wind because it carries a large amount of water vapour from the surrounding seas toward the Indian landmass. When this moist air rises, cools, and condenses, clouds form and rainfall can occur. The wind itself is not rain, but its moisture supply makes widespread seasonal rain possible, especially when the air is lifted by relief or other atmospheric conditions.

Option A is correct because moisture from the sea is the essential feature described. Removing mountains, drying soil, or blocking the Sun does not explain why this seasonal wind brings rain. Mountains may influence where rain falls, but they are not the basic reason the monsoon is called rain-bearing. The defining point is the movement of moisture-laden air from the sea toward land.
