(C) Unique pressure and wind conditions
(D) Subtropical westerly jet streams
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Solution
Western disturbances bring winter rain to north-west India and tropical cyclones affect the coasts; pressure and wind systems drive the monsoon; the subtropical westerly jet stream controls the timing of monsoon onset and withdrawal. All three are atmospheric factors.
River navigation and hydro-power are human uses of water resources, not atmospheric conditions, so (B) is excluded.
