Explanation

The correct matching of local storms and their regions is as follows:

Mango shower (A-3): These are pre-monsoon showers common in Kerala and coastal Karnataka. They are so named because they help in the early ripening of mangoes.
Blossom shower (B-2): These showers occur in Kerala and nearby areas, helping coffee flowers to blossom. They are also known as coffee showers.
Norwesters (C-4): Also known as Kalbaishakhi, these are dreaded evening thunderstorms in West Bengal and Assam.
Loo (D-1): These are hot, dry, and oppressive winds blowing in the Northern plains from Punjab to Bihar, particularly intense between Delhi and Patna.

Matching these gives the sequence A-3, B-2, C-4, D-1, which corresponds to option C.
