Why is rainfall low in some interior parts of the Deccan?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: It lies in the rain shadow of Western Ghats

The Western Ghats stand close to the western coast and receive moist winds from the Arabian Sea. As these monsoon winds rise along the mountain slopes, they cool and release much of their moisture as rain on the western, windward side. After crossing the mountains, the air descends toward the interior Deccan and becomes comparatively drier. This dry area is called a rain-shadow region.

Choice D is correct because several interior parts of the Deccan lie on the leeward, or sheltered, side of the Western Ghats. They receive less rainfall than the western slopes. Choice C is wrong because these interiors are not always windward; they are often leeward. The Deccan is not in the sea or Meghalaya, so A and B are plainly incorrect. The exact rainfall varies by location, but the rain-shadow explanation is the standard geographical reason. The supplied answer is correct.
