Why does the Konkan coast receive orographic rainfall? A. It lies on the windward side of the Easter Ghat. B. It lies on the windward side of the cardamon hills. C. It lies on the windward side of the western Ghats. D. It lies on the windward side of Baba budan hills.

Dear student,
The Konkan Coast experiences orographic rainfall because the monsoon winds which blow over the Arabian Sea strike the western side of the Western Ghats resulting in heavy rainfall. By the time these winds reach the Eastern Ghats, they are already dry as they have already shed their moisture.
Regards
