    Answer : Option D

    Explanation :

    Nagpur lies in interior Maharashtra towards the leeward side of Sahyadri Mountains. Most of the precipitation occurs to the west of Sahyadris. As winds pass over these mountains they become dry after shedding most of their moisture while rising against their high elevated peaks.
