View question detailsMonsoon withdrawal does not happen everywhere at the same time. As the land begins to cool after the rainy season, the southwest monsoon first retreats from northwestern India and then gradually withdraws from other regions. The timing and path differ across the country because temperature, pressure, winds and regional geography are not identical everywhere.
Option C is correct because it describes withdrawal as a gradual and regional process. The monsoon does not leave the whole country on one day, it does not remain forever, and it does not withdraw only from southern India. It is useful to remember that onset and withdrawal are both sequential, but their directions and dates should not be treated as exactly the same. The stated starting point in northwestern India supports the idea of step-by-step retreat.
