D Correct answer
Explanation

India's climate is typically classified as tropical monsoonal because the Tropic of Cancer divides the country into tropical and subtropical zones, but the dominating feature is the monsoon system. While parts of India are subtropical, the characteristic seasonal reversal of winds (monsoon) defines India's climate. 'Torrid' is an outdated term.
