If monsoon arrives on time but has a long break in between what problem can occur?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Water stress may increase during crop growth
A long monsoon break means little or no rainfall for several days or weeks. Soil moisture then declines, and growing kharif crops may not get enough water, causing water stress and possibly lower yield. Option B is incorrect because soil moisture does not remain adequate during a prolonged dry spell. Exam tip: For agriculture, the distribution of monsoon rainfall is as important as its timely onset.
