If winds blow from land to sea in winter, why does most of India remain dry?

Correct answer: Because land winds carry less moisture

The direct answer is A: land winds carry less moisture. In much of India during winter, winds generally move from the cooler land toward the warmer sea. Air that begins over land has not travelled across a large warm sea surface, so it usually contains less water vapour. Less water vapour means fewer clouds and less rainfall over most inland areas, producing generally dry weather. Option A is correct. Option B is wrong because the sea does not dry up; it remains the source of moisture. Option C is wrong because the loo is a hot, dry summer wind, not the main cause of ordinary winter dryness. Option D is wrong because a monsoon burst is a rainy-season event and does not explain winter conditions. A useful caution is that some coastal areas and Tamil Nadu can receive winter or retreating-monsoon rain, so 'most of India' is important.
