Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In south-west monsoon season, winds blow from the Bay of Bengal and Arabian Sea towards land.

Detailed explanation-2: -(c) The southwest monsoons are onshore winds as they blow from the Indian Ocean as Arabian Sea and Bay of Bengal branches to land areas. Hence, they are moisture laden winds and bring heavy rainfall. While the northeast monsoons are offshore winds as they blow from land to sea.

Detailed explanation-3: -The low pressure area attracts south-east trade winds. Due to coriolis force, these trade winds turn right towards the low pressure areas in India after crossing the equator and start blowing in the southwestern direction. Thereafter these trade winds enter the peninsular part of India as the south-west monsoon.
