The correct answer is

Below 25°C

The correct answer is Below 25°C.

Latitude: Being in the tropics, the base temperature is generally warm, but altitude provides relief. Vegetation Cover: Dense forests in the Western Ghats can also help keep temperatures lower compared to open areas. Season: Temperatures are cooler during winter (November to February) and can be warmer during summer (March to May), although still cooler than the plains. Understanding these factors helps explain why the average temperature in the Western Ghats hills is notably lower than in the coastal plains.
