What is the most correct process of rain-shadow formation east of the Western Ghats?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: After rainfall on the western slope, air becomes less moist on the leeward side

The direct answer is A: after rain on the western slope, air becomes less moist on the leeward side. Moist monsoon winds from the Arabian Sea meet the Western Ghats. The windward western slope forces the air to rise; rising air cools, condenses and gives rain. Much of the moisture is lost there. The air then descends on the eastern, leeward side and is comparatively dry, so that area receives less rain and is called a rain-shadow region. Option A is correct. Option B is wrong because the eastern side does not sink into the sea. Option C is wrong because the Arabian Sea branch does bring moisture. Option D is wrong because the Sun does not simply stop rainfall; relief, rising air, cooling and moisture loss explain the effect. Memory cue: windward side rises and rains; leeward side descends and dries.
