Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (c) Monsoon climate
Seasonal reversal of surface winds—from sea to land in summer and land to sea in winter—is the defining feature of the monsoon type of climate; it is absent in equatorial and Mediterranean regimes. Thus option (c) ‘Monsoon climate’ alone is correct. ([edukemy.com](https://edukemy.com/blog/upsc-prelims-2014-question-paper-with-answer-key-general-studies-paper-1/))
