Solution

The correct option is A rain-shadow
Maidan is a rain-shadow area. Because the wind from the Arabian Sea blows over to the land. It travels over the coastal plains and pours in the Malnad region. But the wind leaving the Malnad region towards the Maidan is dried up. Hence, it is known as rain-shadow area.
