What is the main importance of the southwest monsoon for farmers?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: It helps sowing and growth of kharif crops

The southwest monsoon brings most of the seasonal rainfall to large parts of India. Farmers depend on this water for preparing fields, sowing, germination, and growth of kharif crops such as rice, maize, cotton, and pulses. The timing and amount of rain strongly affect agricultural production, especially where irrigation is limited.

Option A is correct because it connects monsoon rainfall with both sowing and crop growth. The monsoon does not freeze all crops or turn cultivated land into desert. It is also not useful only for marine fishing; its influence extends to farming, reservoirs, groundwater, and vegetation. The answer should be understood as a general agricultural role, since excessive or delayed rain can also create problems, but regular monsoon rain is the main support for kharif cultivation.
