Which of the following atmospheric conditions influences the climate and weather conditions in India?

(A) Western cyclonic disturbances and tropical cyclones

(B) River navigation and hydro-power generation

(C) Unique pressure and wind conditions

(D) Subtropical westerly jet streams

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

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.
