Correct option is B
The correct answer is (B) October and November.
The Tamil Nadu coast receives a significant portion of its rainfall during the Northeast Monsoon (also known as the Retreating Monsoon), which occurs primarily in October and November. This period brings heavy rainfall to the state, particularly to the eastern coastal regions.
The rain is primarily influenced by winds from the Bay of Bengal.
