Explanation:

First statement is incorrect as North-east trade winds do prevail in India.

During the winter season, North-East trade winds prevail over India. They blow from land to sea and that is why that for most part of the country, it is a dry season. A part of North-East trade winds blow over Bay of Bengal. They gather moisture which causes rainfall in the Coromandal coast while the rest of the country remains dry. Strictly speaking these winds are planetary winds known as Northeast Trades. In India they are essentially land bearing winds.

Other two options are correct.
