A slowdown of the El Niño phenomenon in the Pacific Ocean is likely to:

1. Increase monsoon rainfall in India
2. Reduce global temperatures permanently
3. Eliminate cyclones completely
4. Stop ocean currents entirely

Correct answer: Increase monsoon rainfall in India

Solution

El Niño tends to suppress the Indian monsoon, so a slowdown or weakening of El Niño usually supports better monsoon rainfall in India. The other options are scientifically incorrect or exaggerated.
