Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation

Option B is the incorrect statement. The Andaman and Nicobar Islands experience a tropical climate characterized by heavy rainfall from both the Southwest Monsoon (May to September) and the Northeast Monsoon (October to December). According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), the months of March and April are typically the driest months for the archipelago, not the period of maximum rainfall.

  • Statement A: The islands possess a humid, tropical coastal climate due to their proximity to the equator and the surrounding sea.
  • Statement C: The 10 Degree Channel is a wide water body (approximately 150 km) that separates the Andaman group from the Nicobar group.
  • Statement D: The islands are home to Negrito tribes (such as the Jarawa, Sentinelese, Onge, and Great Andamanese) in the Andamans, while the Nicobars are inhabited by Mongoloid tribes.
