Mentioned Month: Jan
Diff: ~1.75
Previous Month: Dec

Result: Difference is greater in Dec than in Jan.
Mentioned Month: Mar
Diff: ~1.5
Previous Month: Feb

Dear friend
and
Dear Sajjad1994
what is the exact inference from this question?
We need to check the difference between Rain & Run-Off of the months mentioned and the previous month. Then we need to check the highest difference (Mentioned - Previous) between the arrived differences
OR
we need to check each two consecutive month (based on those in answer choices) to see, which has lesser rain off and greater Rain?
When I read question, at first I answer the question by second inference, when I came to explanation by Rocky, I saw a complete different analysis.
The way I solved, was to just compare months to see if the one written in answer choice has lesser rainoff compared to past and higher rain, compared to past month
