The correct answer is: a) Summer

Droughts are periods of time when there is less than normal rainfall. They can occur in any part of the world, but they are most common in areas that are already dry. Bihar is a state in India that is prone to droughts. The state experiences a hot, dry summer season from April to June. During this time, the temperature can reach up to 45 degrees Celsius (113 degrees Fahrenheit). The lack of rainfall and the high temperatures can lead to drought conditions.

The other options are incorrect because:

• b) Winter is the coldest season in Bihar. The temperature can drop to as low as 5 degrees Celsius (41 degrees Fahrenheit). The lack of rainfall and the cold temperatures can lead to frost conditions.
• c) Spring is the season of transition between winter and summer. The temperature starts to increase and the rainfall starts to increase. However, the rainfall is not always enough to prevent drought conditions.
• d) Autumn is the season of transition between summer and winter. The temperature starts to decrease and the rainfall starts to decrease. The lack of rainfall can lead to drought conditions.
