Why can monsoon failure lead to drought?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because rainfall deficiency reduces moisture in soil and water sources

The direct answer is B: deficient rainfall reduces moisture in soil and water sources, which can produce drought. Crops need soil moisture, and people and animals depend on ponds, reservoirs, rivers and groundwater. If the monsoon fails, less water enters these systems. Continued deficiency may reduce crop growth, lower water tables and dry small sources, creating agricultural or even wider drought conditions. Option B correctly gives the cause-and-effect chain. Option A is wrong because monsoon failure does not necessarily change river direction. Option C is wrong because the sea does not freeze in this situation. Option D is wrong because the Himalaya does not sink. Memory cue: failed rain means less soil water, less stored water and greater drought risk.
