Correct answer: C

In the month of January (winter), the mean temperature in Madhya Pradesh increases as we move from north to south. The southern part of the state lies closer to and partly beyond the Tropic of Cancer, so it receives more direct solar insolation and stays comparatively warmer. A 21°C isotherm roughly divides the state in January, and the region lying to its south records the higher mean temperature. Hence the southern part of Madhya Pradesh records a higher mean temperature than the other parts in January.
