View question detailsMango showers are considered helpful in ripening which fruit?
Correct answer: D
Mango showers are pre-monsoon rains that occur in parts of India, especially before the main southwest monsoon. They are associated with the warm season and are traditionally considered helpful for the early development and ripening of mangoes. The name itself gives an important clue, although the rain is a regional weather phenomenon rather than a guarantee that every mango will ripen. Therefore, option D, mango, is correct. Apples, grapes, and bananas are not the fruit conventionally associated with the term “mango showers” in school geography.
The useful reasoning is to connect the local seasonal rain with the crop named in its common expression. These showers provide moisture and occur during the hot period when mangoes are developing. Textbooks often describe them as beneficial to mango ripening, so the expected examination answer is mango. The question asks what fruit they are considered helpful for, not for a detailed study of all agricultural effects. Thus the supplied answer D follows the standard school-level explanation and is accurate.
