Solution : The correct option is Monsoonal rainfall is not affected by the relief features of the country .
Relief features, such as mountains and plateaus, play a significant role in influencing the distribution and intensity of monsoonal rainfall in India. For example, the Western Ghats act as a barrier to the southwest monsoon winds, leading to orographic rainfall on the windward side (west coast) and creating rain shadows on the leeward side (east coast). Similarly, the Himalayan mountain range influences the path of the monsoon winds, impacting rainfall patterns in northern India.
