Solution

The correct option is A cyclonic rainfall
In a cyclone, the winds from all directions converge at the centre. Air with different temperature meets at the center. The cold air pushes the warm air upward which gets cool as it moves up and precipitation occurs. So rainfall due to cyclones and depression is termed as cyclonic rainfall.
