Answer: The correct answer is : Because the monsoon winds therefore also reached the ocean currents of the monsoon, which directed the ships from the west in Arabia to the east going to India.

Explanation: The monsoons are seasonal winds that bring very heavy rains in winter and a dry and sunny weather in summer. The word monsoon, meaning season, began to be used by arable sailors to define the changing winds according to the season in the Indian Ocean, including the Arabian Sea.
