B. Mediterranean Sea
C. Bay of Bengal branch
D. Cyclones

Answer 1

Hint: Rajasthan is a state in India of which the Thar Desert is also a part. This state receives its annual rainfall of $91\% $ in the South-West monsoon.

Complete step-by-step solution:
The normal annual rainfall in the state varies from 14 cm over the extreme North-Western parts to 1000 cm over the South - Eastern Parts. The rainfall is about $2\% $ during the cold-weather season, $3\% $ during the summer season, and about $4\% $ during the post-monsoon season of the total annual rainfall respectively. The beginning of the southwest rainstorm is seen nearly by the most recent seven-day stretch of June over the eastern pieces of the state which reaches out over the whole state by the primary seven-day stretch of July. July and August are generally the rainiest months amounting individually to about $34\% $ of the annual rainfall each. The withdrawal of the south-west monsoon begins around 1st September from the northern, western parts of the state, and by 15th September its withdrawal from the entire state. A small amount of rainfall i.e., 1 cm and $0.7$ are received during the cold weather season in Rajasthan. This is a great significance for agriculture. The state receives about $90\% $ of the total rainfall during the south-west monsoon period which extends from June to September. The remaining portion of rainfall is received during the cold weather period which is January and February. The Eastern part of Rajasthan receives most of the rain from the Bay of Bengal branch.

Thus, option (C) is correct.

Note: The districts of West Rajasthan receive less rainfall than those of East Rajasthan. The mean annual rainfall in East Rajasthan is $64.9$ cm whereas the mean annual rainfall in West Rajasthan is $32.7$ cm.
