{'west monsoon': [1, 0, 1, 0], 'northern india': [2, 1, 4, 4], 'december': [5, 1, 4, 11], 'november': [8, 1, 3, 6], 'september': [6, 1, 6, 7], 'march': [10, 2, 7, 13], 'june': [8, 1, 4, 8], 'october': [8, 1, 2, 6], 'may': [5, 0, 2, 5], 'periods': [0, 0, 1, 2], 'april': [6, 1, 2, 5]}

The correct answer is option 2, which is October to November.

The South-West Monsoon is a seasonal wind system that brings rainfall to the Indian subcontinent. It typically starts in June and lasts until September, covering most of Northern India during this period. Therefore, option 1 (June to September) cannot be the correct answer because that is when the South-West Monsoon occurs.

Option 2, October to November, is when the South-West Monsoon begins to withdraw from Northern India. During this period, the monsoon winds start to move away from the region, leading to a decrease in rainfall. This withdrawal process continues throughout October and November, with the monsoon gradually retreating towards the Indian Ocean.

Option 3 (December to March) cannot be the correct answer because this period corresponds to the winter season in Northern India, which is not associated with the South-West Monsoon.

Similarly, option 4 (April to May) is incorrect because this period is characterized by the pre-monsoon season, when temperatures rise and the region experiences some rainfall, but it is not the withdrawal period of the South-West Monsoon.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 2, October to November, as it corresponds to the withdrawal of the South-West Mon
