Complete answer:
Being a tropical country, India has several subtypes of climate. The climate is mainly influenced by the Himalayan mountain range, the Thar desert, monsoon rains, closeness to large water bodies and tropical to subtropical latitudes.
In India, summers are hot and dry, while winters are mild and bright in many regions. In the summer season, the daily high temperatures are frequently between 37.8°C (100°F) to 46.1°C (115°F). At the peak of the summers, the average temperature in Pune rises up to31.7°C (89.1°F). The mountainous regions however have pleasant conditions in the summer.

Option A. May: In India, it is the hottest month of the year. The average high temperature lies in the range of 29.4°C (84.9°F) to 42.2°C (108°F).

Option B. June: It is hot, humid and wet as the arrival of monsoon is seen in this month in most parts of the country. The average high temperature lies in the range of 29.4°C (84.9°F) to 40.6°C (105.1°F) on the plains.

Option C. July: In India, it is the wettest month of the year as the southwest monsoon grants abundant rainfall in the country. The average temperature lies in the range of 23.9°C (75°F) to 35°C (95°F), but the average humidity of more than 80% adds to the heat index more than the heat.

Option D. April: It is again a hot and dry month of the summer season. The average temperature lies in the range of 22.2°C (72°F) to 40.6°C (105.1°F).

Hence, the correct answer is option (A)
