Correct Answer: Northeast monsoon


Solution : The correct option is the Northeast monsoon.

The northeast monsoon is the one that brings October and November deluges of rain to the coast of Tamil Nadu, southern Andhra Pradesh, southeast Karnataka and southeast Kerala. Parts of southern India receive rainfall during this monsoon season, which follows the southwest monsoon and usually lasts from October to December. The majority of wind direction during the northeast monsoon is from the northeast, which affects India's southeast coast and causes heavy rainfall in the aforementioned areas.
