    Answer : Option D

    Explanation :

    Delhi gets winter rainfall due to Western distubances. Western disturbances, specifically the ones in winter, bring moderate to heavy rain in low-lying areas and heavy snow to mountainous areas of the Indian Subcontinent. During the winters, the low pressure belt of temperate zone slides down over the Northern India. Due to which the feeble temperate cyclones originating over Mediterranean Sea move along western jet stream strikes North India.
