Answer: Option B

Solution(By Examveda Team)

Cherapunji receives more rainfall than Shillong because the air of different densities and temperature tends to converge towards Cherapunji from different direction during the rainy season. Cherrapunji receives both the southwest and northeast monsoonal winds, giving it a single monsoon season. It lies on the windward side of the Khasi Hills, so the resulting orographic lift enhances precipitation.
