What weather event greatly impacts India?
A
forest fires
B
monsoons
C
typhoons
D
tropical storms
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The monsoons that cause heaviest rainfall are summer monsoons near the Indian Ocean. Warm water in the ocean evaporates, rising into the air. This causes the wind to change direction and moisture blows toward the land in countries such as India and Sri Lanka. The warm, moist air then condenses and becomes rain.

Detailed explanation-2: -A shift in the track of monsoon systems, like low pressure and depression travelling south of their position and flash floods are a result of this change. And these changes spell intense and frequent extreme unprecedented weather events over the places which once struggled to record even normal monsoon rains.

Detailed explanation-3: -The monsoon climate occurs because of the differential heating of the land and water bodies. Air crosses the equator and turns right to the low pressure zone over the subcontinent of India after moving from a high pressure area over the southern Indian ocean.
