Solution

The correct option is B equatorial region
Convectional rainfall occurs when surface of the earth is heated up by the sun. The warm surface also heats up the air. As air rises it cools down and begins to condensate. Further rising and cooling causes a large amount of condensation to occur and rain is formed. Conventional rainfall usually occurs in the equatorial region.
