10 km/hr
-
15 km/hr
-
20 km/hr
-
30 km/hr
D
Correct answer
Explanation
Monsoon winds typically move at 25-30 km/hr as they approach land. This speed allows them to carry significant moisture over long distances without dissipating too quickly. Slower speeds would reduce moisture transport; faster speeds might not allow sufficient condensation.
