    Answer : Option C

    Explanation :

    Orographic type of rainfall leads to the formation of the windward and the leeward side. The chief characteristic of this sort of rain is that the windward slopes receive greater rainfall. After giving rain on the windward side, when these winds reach the other slope, they descend, and their temperature rises. Then their capacity to take in moisture increases and hence, these leeward slopes remain rainless and dry.
