Answer: C
The peaks are in March-May and October-November.
Tropical cyclones over the North Indian Ocean have a bimodal season: a pre-monsoon peak in April-May and a stronger post-monsoon peak in October-November. During the monsoon itself (June-September) strong vertical wind shear stops depressions from deepening into severe cyclones, and in winter the sea is cooler.
January-February and December-January are the quiet winter months, and July-August falls in the monsoon, when monsoon depressions rather than cyclonic storms are the typical systems. Only the March-May and October-November pair spans both peaks.
