Madhya Pradesh is a state in central India. It is bordered by the states of Uttar Pradesh to the north, Chhattisgarh to the east, Maharashtra to the south, Gujarat to the west, and Rajasthan to the northwest. The state has a population of over 72 million people and is the sixth most populous state in India.
The climate of Madhya Pradesh is tropical continental. The summers are hot and humid, while the winters are cold and dry. The state receives an average annual rainfall of 1,000-1,200 mm.
The southern part of India is a tropical region that receives more rainfall than the northern part of India. The average annual rainfall in southern India is 2,000-2,500 mm.
Therefore, Madhya Pradesh experiences less rainfall than southern India.
Option B is incorrect because Madhya Pradesh does not experience more extreme temperature variations than southern India. The average temperature in Madhya Pradesh ranges from 20°C to 40°C, while the average temperature in southern India ranges from 25°C to 35°C.
Option C is incorrect because Madhya Pradesh does not experience both less rainfall and more extreme temperature variations than southern India.
