Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Western Disturbance.
The phenomenon not related to the monsoon in India is the Western Disturbance. Western Disturbances are low-pressure systems originating in the Mediterranean region that typically bring winter rainfall to northern India, especially over the northwestern plains and the Himalayas. They occur from November to March and impact winter weather, contributing to rainfall and snowfall in these regions. Monsoons, on the other hand, are caused by the seasonal reversal of winds, bringing widespread rainfall from June to September across India due to the southwest monsoon.
