The correct answer is option 4: October - November.

The retreating monsoons refer to the withdrawal of the monsoon winds from the Indian subcontinent. During the monsoon season, which usually starts in June and lasts until September, the southwest monsoon winds bring heavy rainfall to the region. However, as the monsoon season comes to an end, these winds start to weaken and change direction.

The retreating monsoons typically occur in the months of October and November. During this period, the monsoon winds gradually reverse their direction and start blowing from northeast to southwest, leading to a decrease in rainfall over the Indian subcontinent.

Options 1, 2, and 3 are incorrect because they mention months that are not associated with the retreating monsoons. January - February and March - April are both outside the typical monsoon season, and June - July is during the peak of the monsoon season.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 4: October - November.
