{'east trade winds': [1, 0, 1, 0], 'indian subcontinent': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'west india': [0, 1, 0, 0], 'cyclone': [1, 1, 2, 3], 'rainy season': [3, 0, 2, 3], 'equator': [10, 0, 6, 7], 'easterlies': [1, 0, 1, 1], 'low atmospheric pressure': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'south': [15, 1, 23, 37]}

The South-East trade winds are attracted towards the Indian subcontinent in the rainy season due to the presence of low atmospheric pressure over North-West India. Option 1, the development of cyclone over the equator, is not correct because cyclones develop over warm ocean waters and can affect the movement of trade winds, but they do not specifically attract the South-East trade winds towards the Indian subcontinent. Option 2, the effect of easterlies, is not correct because easterlies are winds that blow from east to west and do not have a direct impact on the movement of South-East trade winds towards the Indian subcontinent. Option 3, the effect of Northern-East trade winds, is also not correct because Northern-East trade winds do not exist. Therefore, option 4 is the correct answer.
