Correct Answer: Mediterranean region


Solution : The correct option is the Mediterranean region .

The westerly flow from the Mediterranean region brings Western cyclonic disturbances to India. These disturbances are associated with the extra-tropical westerly jet stream extending from the Mediterranean region to the Indian subcontinent. During the winter months, from November to March, the westerly flow is associated with the jet stream in northern and central parts of India. These jet streams bring rain to the region.
