Answer:

A. The region sits at a higher elevation.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The east coast of Africa would have a cooler climate than the western coast because of the tilts on the Earth's axis.

  • Global climate is shaped by many factors, including solar energy trapped in the biosphere, latitude, and the transport of heat by winds and ocean currents.
