C. Rajasthan
D. Kutch
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Ladakh, particularly the region around Leh, is the driest place in India, receiving less than 100 mm of precipitation annually due to its location in the rain shadow of the Himalayas.
Explanation:
The Indian monsoon is influenced by multiple factors, including El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO), the land-sea temperature contrast (which creates a thermal low over Asia), and the movement of the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ).
