Solution
The correct option is B Equatorial Zone
Equatorial Climate: This occurs in lowland areas within 5 - 10 latitude of the equator.
Day and night are both around 12 hours and the annual temperature range is small. The diurnal range is greater than the annual range.
The constant uplift of warm, unstable air is caused by the convergence of tropical air masses in these latitudes and results in low pressure throughout the year. Close to the equator pressure gradients are small and therefore winds are light, the Doldrums.
