Answer : Option B
Explanation :
Rain caused by vertical circulation of air currents - orographic rainfall is wrongly matched. Orographic precipitation, rain, snow, or other precipitation 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.
