Solution

The correct option is A Amazon region gets large amount of rainfall.
Some people in Amazon live in large apartment-like houses called “Malocas”. Malocas have slanting roofs because rainwater can slide down these slanting roofs much easier than flat roofs. Since the Amazon region receives a large amount of rainfall it is essential to have slanting roofs.
