{'indian monsoonal rainfall': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'rainfall': [4, 1, 7, 3], 'rain': [7, 1, 2, 16], 'heavy downpour': [1, 0, 0, 3], 'seasonal variation': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'considerable runoff': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'distribution': [0, 0, 1, 0]}

The correct answer is option 2, which states that Indian Monsoonal Rainfall is largely governed by topographical features and there is regional and seasonal variation in the distribution of rainfall.

Option 1 is incorrect because it states that Indian Monsoonal Rainfall is solely governed by topographical features, which is not entirely true. While topography does play a significant role in influencing rainfall patterns, other factors such as atmospheric conditions, temperature gradients, and the presence of moisture also contribute to monsoonal rainfall.

Option 3 is also incorrect because it states that heavy downpour resulting in considerable runoff is a characteristic of Indian Monsoonal Rainfall. While heavy rainfall does occur during the monsoon season in India, the amount of runoff varies depending on factors such as soil type, land use practices, and drainage systems. Therefore, it cannot be generalized that there is considerable runoff during the monsoon season.

Option 4 is incorrect because it states that the beginning and end of rain is regular and on time for Indian Monsoonal Rainfall. However, the monsoon season in India is known for its variability in terms of its onset and withdrawal dates, which can vary from year to year. Therefore, it cannot be said that the beginning and end of rain is regular and
