What problem can seasonal concentration of rainfall in monsoon climate create?

Correct answer: Flooding in some period and water shortage in another

The direct answer is A: seasonal concentration of monsoon rainfall can cause flooding in one period and water shortage in another. Monsoon rainfall is not usually spread evenly through the entire year. Step by step, a large amount of rain falling in a short time may exceed the capacity of drains, rivers, and soil, producing floods. Later, when little rain falls, stored water may become insufficient for homes, farms, and industries, producing shortage. Option A is correct because it describes both opposite effects of uneven timing. Option B is wrong because concentrated rainfall does not guarantee equal water availability throughout the year. Option C is wrong because seasons do not end; seasonal rainfall is one feature of the climate. Option D is wrong because the water cycle continues through evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and collection. Exam cue: monsoon variability can mean flood during heavy rain and scarcity during the dry period.
