C. They are an important source of water for irrigation.
Monsoon rains supply the majority of India's annual rainfall, replenishing rivers, reservoirs and groundwater and supporting agriculture. (While monsoons can also cause flooding and erosion, that is a negative effect, not the primary reason they are important.)
