भारत में वर्ष 2026 के दौरान सामान्य से कम मानसून (Below-Normal Monsoon) के पूर्वानुमान के लिए मुख्य रूप से कौन-सी जलवायु घटना जिम्मेदार है?
Detailed Solution & Logic
El Niño / एल नीनो
Answer: B) El Niño / एल नीनो

हिंदी:
एल नीनो (El Niño) मध्य एवं पूर्वी प्रशांत महासागर के समुद्री सतह तापमान में असामान्य वृद्धि की स्थिति है। यह घटना सामान्यतः भारतीय दक्षिण-पश्चिम मानसून को कमजोर कर देती है, जिसके कारण भारत में सामान्य से कम वर्षा हो सकती है।
