Solution
The correct option is B Orographic rainfall
Orographic precipitation is produced when moist air is lifted as it moves over a mountain range. As the air rises and cools, orographic clouds form and serve as the source of the precipitation, most of which falls upwind of the mountain ridge. On the leeward side, rainfall is usually low, and the area is said to be in a rain shadow.
