Correct Option: D
Explanation:

During the winter, the flow of air reverses. The continent cools rapidly forming a large area of high pressure over north central Asia, known as the Siberian High, and a smaller area over India. Now,the drier, colder air of the continent blows offshore creating the dry monsoon season. Many parts of southern India receive considerable rain from the northeast monsoon. Though the principal rainy season for interior Karnataka, Kerala and Lakshadweep is the Southwest Monsoon season, rainfall continues till December in theseĀ  regions. Tamilnadu, in particular, typically gets nearly half its annual rain during this monsoon. It is known as Mavath.
