Hint: The region which has a humid climate consists of five headstreams that flow through this region. The region is situated along the Indian border of Tibet Autonomous Region of China.

Complete answer: The Ganga river rises in the southern part of the Great Himalayas along the Indian border with Tibet Autonomous Region of China. The Ganges basin incorporates about 1,086,000 square kilometres and contains the largest waterway system on the subcontinent. The water supply relies somewhat upon the downpours brought by the southwesterly monsoon winds from July to October including the melting of the Himalayan snows in the hot season from April to June. Precipitation in the stream basin persists with the southwest monsoon winds, but it also occurs with typhoons that arise in the Bay of Bengal between June and October.

Now let us examine the options
Option A - The Western part of Uttar Pradesh experiences an extreme type of climate, be it summer or winter.
Option B - The rainy or monsoon season influences the entire nation, but in the Ganges Valley, the rainy season usually arrives around the month of July. In spite of this, the temperature remains humid. Thus, the Ganges valley remains hot and humid in summer seasons.
Option C - The temperature in Jammu and Kashmir varies. Jammu experiences a subtropical climate and hot summers while Kashmir has a pleasant temperature ranging from 14 to 30 degree Celsius.
Option D - Kerala is located in the southern part of India and lies in the tropic region. It mostly experiences a humid tropical wet climate while the eastern fringes experience a tropical wet and dry climate.

Thus, the correct answer is option (B).

Note: The name Ganges is utilized for the stream between the confluence of the Alaknanda and the Bhagirathi rivers, in the Himalayas, and the principal bifurcation of the river, close to the Farakka Barrage and the India-Bangladesh border.
