Explanation

The Köppen climate classification for India maps specific climatic types to distinct regions. 'Monsoon with Short Dry Season' (Amw) is characteristic of the West Coast of India, including the Karnataka coast [1]. 'Cold Humid Winter with Short Summer' (Dfc) is found in the northeastern parts of India, specifically Arunachal Pradesh. 'Monsoon with Dry Winter' (Cwa) is the dominant climate type in the North Indian plains, covering Uttar Pradesh and Bihar. Finally, 'Monsoon with Dry Summer' (As) is a unique climatic feature of the Coromandel Coast, primarily in Tamil Nadu, where the majority of rainfall occurs during the retreating monsoon season between September and December [1]. Matching these pairs (A-4, B-3, C-1, D-2) leads to Option 1.
