Solution

The correct option is C Rain shadow
Deserts occur in areas of rain shadow. In rain shadow, the deserts are formed due to tall mountain ranges that prevent clouds to reach areas on the protected side. Hence, when the air rises over the mountain, water is precipitated and the air loses its moisture content.
Thus, the correct answer is 'Rain shadow.'
