Correct option is B
The correct answer is: (b) 20° N and 25° N
Explanation:
During the summer season, especially by mid-July, the ITCZ shifts northward due to intense heating of the Indian landmass. It settles approximately between 20° N and 25° N latitudes, near the Tropic of Cancer and parallel to the Himalayas, attracting southwest monsoon winds.
Information Booster:
ITCZ is a low-pressure belt where northeast and southeast trade winds converge.
Lies over Ganga plains during peak summer.
Lies near the Equator during equinoxes and moves north in Indian summer.
ITCZ is also called the monsoon trough in India.
The location of ITCZ influences monsoon strength and duration.
