What is the correct difference between monsoon onset and monsoon withdrawal?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Onset starts from Kerala while withdrawal generally starts from north-west India

The direct answer is option A: onset starts from Kerala, while withdrawal generally starts from north-west India. Monsoon onset means the southwest monsoon arrives and begins spreading over India. It normally reaches Kerala first, around the beginning of June, and then advances toward other regions. Withdrawal means the monsoon retreats after the rainy season. It usually begins from north-western India around September and gradually moves south-eastward, ending later over the peninsula. Option A is correct because it gives both the usual starting regions and shows that onset and withdrawal move in different directions. Option B is wrong because monsoon movement is gradual, not a one-day event everywhere. Option C is wrong because onset belongs mainly to the hot-season transition into the rainy season, while withdrawal occurs after the rainy season, not in the stated seasons. Option D is wrong because both processes are strongly related to seasonal heating, pressure and wind changes. Exam cue: onset comes in from the south-west; withdrawal begins in the north-west.
