Statement 1 is correct, as it refers to the monsoon being known as the retreating monsoon. Statement 2 is incorrect since the northeast monsoon primarily benefits southern India, not western India. Statement 3 is incorrect because the winds do not gather moisture while traveling over northern landmasses; they acquire moisture over the Bay of Bengal before reaching southern India.",
