Solution

The correct option is C Equatorial regions
In equatorial areas, the surface gets heated because of the sun’s heat and the air near it also gets heated. As it gets heated, it spreads and becomes lighter and moves upwards. The air cools down when it goes upward. The moisture-holding capacity of cold air is less. Consequently, condensation of the water vapor occurs and rainfall occurs.
