From 1 and 2
D
Correct answer
Explanation
Uttar Pradesh receives rainfall primarily from two sources: the Bay of Bengal branch of the southwest monsoon and winter cyclonic disturbances. The Bay of Bengal branch provides the main monsoon rainfall, while winter cyclones bring additional precipitation. Option C (Westerly from Himalayas) is not a major source, and option D correctly combines the two actual sources.
