Concept:The retreating northeast monsoon brings winter rainfall to the coastal areas of Tamil Nadu.Explanation:In India, the monsoon season is divided into two phases. The southwest monsoon (June–September) brings rain to most parts of the country. After September, the monsoon starts retreating, and winds reverse direction, blowing from the northeast to the southwest. This northeast monsoon (also called the retreating monsoon) occurs during October and November. These winds cross the Bay of Bengal, pick up moisture, and cause rainfall along the eastern coast, particularly Tamil Nadu, at the beginning of winter. This is why Tamil Nadu receives significant rain during early winter.Answer:North-Eastern Monsoon (Option A).
