Yes. Both answers are correct.
To determine the correct answer, let's analyze the information given. The statement says that the Western Ghats block the monsoon winds. The monsoon winds are responsible for bringing rain to the subcontinent. When these winds are blocked, it means that the interior of the subcontinent does not receive as much rainfall.
Now let's consider the options:
a. hot and dry: This answer seems plausible because if the interior of the subcontinent receives less rainfall, it can result in hot and dry conditions.
b. subarctic: This option is unlikely since the Western Ghats, located in India, do not cause a subarctic climate.
c. cold and wet: This option is unlikely as well because if the monsoon winds are blocked, it would result in reduced rainfall, indicating it is not cold and wet.
d. warm and humid: This option is the most likely because although the region may not receive as much rainfall, the warmer temperatures and humidity can remain due to the geographical features and position of the subcontinent.
Therefore, the correct answer is d. warm and humid.
