B Correct answer
Explanation

Madras (now Chennai) receives winter rainfall from the Northeast Monsoon, which occurs from October to December. These winds blow from the northeast, pick up moisture from the Bay of Bengal, and release it along the Tamil Nadu coast. The Southwest Monsoon (June-September) bypasses this region due to the Western Ghats.
