d. they cool off unbearably hot temperatures.

The correct answers are:

A. They limit the effects of desertification;

C. They are an important source of water for irrigation;

The monsoons in India appear during the summer and early autumn. They bring in enormous amounts of rainfall in a very short period of time, in fact, they bring in the largest amount of rainfall in the world.

The monsoons contribute to the regulation of the environment, and do not allow for the formation of vast arid places, thus limiting the effects of desertification on the Indian sub-continent.

Also, with the enormous amount of water they bring in, the rivers have more than enough water for the rest of the year, and that means the local population has enough water for irrigation in the agricultural fields.
