  3. C
    Eastern Ghats
  4. D
    Western Ghats

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

The Western Ghats experience an intense orographic rainfall asymmetry. The western windward slopes face moisture-laden monsoonal winds and support thick tropical evergreen rainforests. Conversely, the eastern leeward side lies in a dry rain-shadow zone and is dominated by dry deciduous forests and scrub savanna vegetation.
