Detailed Solution

In the above question, Both Assertion and Reason are correct.
Indian sub-continent experiences comparatively milder winters than Central Asia because the Himalayas prevent the cold winds from coming into the sub-continent. India's climate demonstrates a wide range of variation, with snowfall in the Himalayan peaks and stifling heat in the south. The Indian subcontinent is warmer than other areas at the same altitude because the Himalayan Mountains block the central Asian katabatic winds. The Himalayan Range is the nation's most significant relief barrier. It limits the entry of Central Asian winds to the peninsula's northern region.
