Assam faces a gap between power demand and supply, particularly during:

The correct answer is: c) Peak summer months.

Assam faces a gap between power demand and supply, particularly during the peak summer months. This is because the demand for electricity increases during this time due to the use of air conditioners and other cooling devices. The state’s power generation capacity is not sufficient to meet this increased demand, which leads to power cuts and outages.

The other options are incorrect because:

• The monsoon season is a time of low demand for electricity, as people are less likely to use air conditioners and other cooling devices.
• The winter season is also a time of low demand for electricity, as people are less likely to use heating devices.
• Throughout the year, Assam faces a gap between power demand and supply, but this gap is most pronounced during the peak summer months.
