Explanation:

Option : c) A is true, but R is false

Winds from the Arabian Sea rises from nearly 900 to 1200 m up the slopes of the Western Ghats. They soon become cool and as a result, very heavy rainfall ranging from 250 cm to 400 cm occurs on the windward side of the Western Ghats. These winds descend and get heated up after crossing the Western Ghats. Therefore western ghats block the moisture laden winds and cause heavy rainfall.
