Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Tropical desert climates (Köppen BWh) are characterized by very low rainfall (less than 250 mm per year) and high temperatures, with large diurnal temperature ranges.
Explanation:
During the summer monsoon (June to September), the winds blow from the Southwest (Indian Ocean) towards the Northeast (landmass), bringing heavy rainfall.
