{'southwest monsoon': [2, 0, 0, 0], 'rainfall': [4, 1, 7, 3], 'monsoon': [1, 0, 2, 1], 'western disturbances': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'winters': [2, 0, 1, 3], 'india': [8, 1, 7, 13], 'western part': [3, 0, 1, 0], 'north': [0, 0, 1, 0]}

Option 1: Western disturbances are low-pressure systems that form over the Mediterranean Sea and move towards India. These disturbances bring rainfall during winters in the north-western part of India. They are responsible for the formation of rain-bearing clouds and precipitation in the region.

Option 2: Cyclonic depressions are also low-pressure systems, but they are more common during the summer months and are associated with the monsoon season. They are not directly responsible for rainfall during winters in the north-western part of India.

Option 3: Southwest monsoon is responsible for bringing rainfall to most parts of India during the summer months. It is not the main cause of rainfall during winters in the north-western part of India.

Option 4: Retreating monsoon refers to the withdrawal of the southwest monsoon from the northern parts of India. It is not the main cause of rainfall during winters in the north-western part of India.

Alert - correct answer should be option 1: Western disturbances.
