Which region is known for low rainfall?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Thar Desert

The direct answer is C: the Thar Desert is known for low rainfall. The Thar lies in north-western India and has a hot, dry climate. It receives comparatively little rainfall because the Arabian Sea branch of the monsoon does not produce much rain there, the Aravalli range is not arranged to force strong uplift of these winds across the desert, and the region is far from major moisture sources. Option C is correct because the Thar is a classic low-rainfall and arid region. Option A is wrong because the Konkan Coast receives heavy or very high monsoon rainfall when moist winds rise along the Western Ghats. Option B is wrong because the Malabar Coast is also a wet west-coastal region with substantial monsoon rain. Option D is wrong because Assam is famous for very heavy rainfall, especially in places such as Cherrapunji and nearby areas, although rainfall can vary locally. The reasoning is simple: dry climate and sparse rainfall identify the Thar, while the coastal and north-eastern options are generally wetter. Memory cue: Thar means hot desert and low rainfall; Malabar, Konkan, and Assam are associated with much more rain.
