Solution

The correct option is B drought quadrilateral
The climate of Brazil chiefly depends on the latitudinal extent of the country and the Trade Winds.
Brazil has a humid tropical and subtropical climate except for a drier area in the Northeast, sometimes called the drought quadrilateral or drought polygon, that extends from northern Bahia to the coast between Natal and São Luís.
