Hint: The northeast monsoon called amihan, impacts eastern Philippines. Initially a cold, dry air mass, it comes from Siberia and burdens moisture over the Pacific Ocean before arriving in the eastern parts of the country. It is specified by vast cloudiness with rains and showers.

Complete Answer: The interval October to December is implied to be Northeast Monsoon season over peninsular India. Earlier this period was also implied to be "Post-Monsoon Season" or "Retreating southwest Monsoon Season".

 Northeast Monsoon season is the crucial extent of rainfall action over the south peninsula, mainly in the eastern half comprising the meteorological subdivisions of Coastal Andhra Pradesh, Rayalaseema and Tamilnadu-Puducherry. For Tamilnadu this is the primary rainy season accounting for about 48% of the annual rainfall.

The rise in rainfall action over Andhra-Tamilnadu coasts which takes place sometime around middle of October is normally evaluated as the "setting in of Northeast Monsoon".

So, the correct answer is option B.

Note:
-Monsoons cause regions to withstand severe wet and dry seasons, effectively ridding these region's climate. The two major monsoons are summer monsoon and the less influential winter monsoon.

-During summer monsoons, heavy rainfall can affect flooding. Important floodwaters can submerge victims and harm buildings, vacating people without homes and vulnerable to the elements. During the 2014 summer monsoon in Pakistan and India, approximately 300 people lost their lives during landslides and home collapses.
