Correct option is C

 
The Cwg climate type, which represents Warm Temperate Climate with Dry Winters (Subtropical Monsoon Climate), is not found in Rajasthan. This climate is typically found in northern India, including parts of Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, but not in Rajasthan, which has an arid and semi-arid climate.
Explanation:
· BWhw (Hot Desert Climate): Found in western Rajasthan, including Jaisalmer, Barmer, and Bikaner. Characterized by extreme arid conditions and very low rainfall.
· BSKw (Semi-Arid Climate): Found in parts of eastern and central Rajasthan, such as Jaipur and Ajmer, where rainfall is slightly higher than desert regions.
· Cwg (Warm Temperate Climate with Dry Winters): This climate is not present in Rajasthan. It is found in parts of Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, and Madhya Pradesh, where winters are dry, and summers are hot.
· Aw (Tropical Savanna Climate): Found in southeastern Rajasthan, mainly in Dungarpur and Banswara, where summers are hot, and monsoon rains are significant.
Information Booster:
1. Rajasthan's climate is mainly classified as arid and semi-arid, with extreme temperature variations.
2. The Thar Desert in Rajasthan is one of the driest regions in India, falling under the BWhw climate.
3. The eastern regions receive more rainfall and have a semi-arid (BSKw) or tropical savanna (Aw) climate.
4. The Cwg climate (Warm Temperate with Dry Winters) is commonly found in the Gangetic plains and central India, not Rajasthan.
Additional Knowledge:
· BWhw (Hot Desert Climate): Characterized by very low rainfall (<250 mm annually), high temperatures, and extreme dryness.
· BSKw (Semi-Arid Climate): Receives moderate rainfall (250-500 mm annually) and supports grasslands and scrub forests.
· Cwg (Warm Temperate with Dry Winters): Found in north and central India, with distinct summer and winter seasons.
· Aw (Tropical Savanna Climate): Found in the southeastern regions of Rajasthan, influenced by the monsoon.
