Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 2 i.e, Khasi.
- Mawsynram receives the highest average annual rainfall in the world because the Monsoon Winds of the Bay of Bengal strike the Khasi Hills.
- These hills, located in the Indian state of Meghalaya, act as a barrier to the moisture-laden winds, causing them to release their moisture in the form of heavy rainfall, making Mawsynram one of the wettest places on Earth.
