A Correct answer
Explanation

The Himalayas act as a climatic barrier for the entire Indian subcontinent, but they most directly affect northern India. They block cold Central Asian winds in winter and trap monsoon winds, causing heavy rainfall. Southern India is protected by the Western and Eastern Ghats, while the Himalayas are the primary climate modifier for the northern plains.
