Answer : B

Explanation:

Statement I is correct: Andaman & Nicobar Islands have a tropical humid climate with high humidity, warm temperatures year-round, and abundant rainfall; typical of equatorial/tropical coastal regions.
Statement II is correct: The islands receive rainfall from both the southwest and northeast monsoons and maximum precipitation is between May and December.
Statement III is not correct:

• Maximum rainfall occurs during the Southwest Monsoon (mainly June to September). This period covers the Southwest Monsoon (May–September) and the Northeast Monsoon (October–December), which together bring the heaviest rainfall to the islands.
• In contrast, the period from December to May (especially January–April) is largely the dry/calm season, not the period of maximum rainfall.
