Assertion (A) – The Tamil Nadu coast remains dry during South-West monsoon season.

Explanation
The assertion is correct because the Tamil Nadu coast receives very little rainfall during the South-West monsoon season (June to September). The reason accurately explains this phenomenon through two factors: 1) The Arabian Sea branch of the monsoon is blocked by the Western Ghats, leaving Tamil Nadu in the rain shadow area (leeward side). 2) The Bay of Bengal branch flows parallel to the Coromandel Coast, meaning there is no orographic obstruction to cause significant precipitation. Instead, Tamil Nadu receives most of its rainfall during the North-East (Retreating) monsoon season when winds blow from the sea to the land. Therefore, both statements are true, and the reason is the correct explanation for the assertion.
